Defendant appealed and asserted numerous challenges to the district court proceedings that resulted in his conviction and sentence for drug trafficking. This included an argument that his within-guidelines sentence of 420 months was unreasonable. The Seventh Circuit found that defendant’s arguments either were waived or without merit and affirmed the judgment and sentence of the district court. (EASTERBROOK And KIRSCH, concurring)
