U.S. v. England

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 210-month term of incarceration on charge of threatening physical force against witness to influence his testimony where Dist. Ct. used advisory guideline range found in section 2A2.1 of USSG that pertained to assaults with intent to commit murder, and where defendant had uttered threat that he would kill witness if witness showed up in court. Dist. Ct. considered all appropriate factors under section 3553(a), which included Dist. Ct. observation that substantial sentence was needed in view of fact that defendant had history of violent temper and violent assaults.
