Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 34-month term of incarceration on charge of illegal re-entry in US after having been deported, even though said sentence was more than twice as long as high end of applicable sentencing guideline range. Instant sentence was reasonable given defendant's history of making other attempts to illegally re-enter US, as well as his past criminal history. Moreover, Dist. Ct. properly looked to factors other than defendant's criminal history to explain need for above-guideline sentence.
