Criminal Law: Firearms Offense-Calculation of Guidelines Range-Harmless Error

Staff Report//September 15, 2023

Defendant appealed the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to a firearms offense, challenging the district court’s calculation of his Guidelines range.

Where the district court adequately considered the statutory sentencing factors and asserted it would have imposed the same sentence regardless of defendant’s challenge to the Guidelines calculation, any error was harmless.

Judgment is affirmed.
