How courts have described this case

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

acknowledging that sentencing courts possess “cumulative experience garnered through the sheer number of district court sentencing proceedings that take place day by day”
explaining that the mere \fact that a sentencing court possesses the raw power to deviate from the guidelines does not mean that it can (or should) do so casually\
noting that even after Gall “a certain ‘sliding scale’ effect lurks in the penumbra of modern federal sentencing law.”
explaining that a “plausible sentencing rationale and a defensible result” form the “the linchpin” of a substantively reasonable sentence
noting that there is likely to be an “expansive” universe of reasonable sentences in any particular case
noting that Gall made clear that district courts have “wide latitude in making individualized sentencing determinations, thus guarding against the institutionalization of an impermissible presumption that outside-the-range sentences are unreasonable”
