Summary

This document is a court transcript from July 22, 2022, in which a judge explains the legal considerations for an upcoming sentencing. The judge states the guideline range is 188 to 235 months but clarifies that, due to the Supreme Court's 'Booker' decision, this is only one of many factors to be considered under federal statute 18 U.S.C. 3553(a). The judge outlines these factors, including the nature of the offense, deterrence, and public safety, before concluding that the sentence must be sufficient but not greater than necessary.

1 THE COURT: Thank you for your patience.
2 As I have stated, the guideline range applicable to
3 this case is 188 to 235 months' imprisonment.
4 Under the Supreme Court's decision in a case called
5 Booker and related cases, the guideline range is only one
6 factor that the Court must consider in deciding the appropriate
7 sentence. I am also required to consider the other factors set
8 forth in a provision called 18 U.S.C. 3553(a). These include
9 the nature and circumstances of the offense, and the history
10 and characteristics of the defendant; the need for the sentence
11 imposed to reflect the seriousness of the offense, to promote
12 respect for the law, to provide just punishment for the
13 offense, to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct, to
14 protect the public from further crimes of the defendant, to
15 provide needed educational, vocational training, medical care,
16 or other treatment. I am to take into account the kinds of
17 sentences available, as I have said, the guideline range, any
18 pertinent policy statement, the need to avoid unwarranted
19 sentence disparities among defendants with similar records who
20 have been found guilty of similar conduct, the need to provide
21 restitution as appropriate under the law to any victims of the
22 offense.
23 I am required to impose a sentence sufficient, but no
24 greater than necessary, to comply with the purposes I have just
25 described. I have given substantial thought and attention to
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
