Criminal Law: Drug and Firearm Offenses-Top-of-Guidelines Sentence-Substantive Reasonableness of Sentence

Defendant appealed the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to drug and firearms offenses. The district court imposed a top-of-the-Guidelines sentence. Defendant challenged the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.

Where the district court expressly stated that it had considered all the statutory sentencing factors, the court found defendant’s sentence presumptively reasonable.

Judgment is affirmed.
