N.D. Ind., Hammond Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 63-month term of incarceration on charge of unlawful possession of firearm by felon even though defendant asserted that he was entitled to lower sentence based upon fact that he had provided medical care to terminally ill father and another individual. Defendant's care-giving conduct did not warrant lower sentence based on family circumstances where need for said services had expired by date of sentencing.
