Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript dated June 29, 2023, in which a judge is outlining the legal basis for an upcoming sentence. The judge states the applicable guideline range is 188 to 235 months but notes that, due to the Supreme Court's 'Booker' decision, this is only one of many factors to consider. The judge then lists the various sentencing factors required by law (18 U.S.C. 3553(a)), such as the nature of the offense, deterrence, and avoiding sentencing disparities.

this case is 188 to 235 months' imprisonment.

Under the Supreme Court's decision in a case called

Booker and related cases, the guideline range is only one

factor that the Court must consider in deciding the appropriate

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

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

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.
