How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

noting that a defendant’s “criminal history” and “likelihood of reoffending” can form the basis for an upward variance
finding that a defendant’s history of theft justified an upward variance for a theft sentence because the defendant “essentially made his living as a thief”
noting that “criminal history and likelihood of reoffending . . . may properly be taken into account in the court’s decision to impose an upward variance under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)”
finding that serious criminal history warranted 42-month sentence, which was “well above [the defendant’s] advisory Guidelines range of 18 to 24 months, though considerably below the statutory maximum sentence of 60 months”
finding that the district court did not err in considering criminal history at sentencing after raising the defendant’s criminal history score because the sentencing judge considered a range of § 3553(a) factors
treating the question of whether the district court correctly imposed an upward departure as a substantive issue
