What is our review of sentencing decisions for procedural and substantive reasonableness?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Sepulveda, No. 19-4141-cr (2nd Cir. 2021):
"We review sentencing decisions for procedural and substantive reasonableness." United States v. Eaglin, 913 F.3d 88, 94 (2d Cir. 2019). Our review of a sentence is "akin to review for abuse of discretion, under which we consider whether the sentencing judge exceeded the bounds of allowable discretion, committed an error of law in the course of exercising discretion, or made a clearly erroneous finding of fact." United States v. Corsey, 723 F.3d 366, 374 (2d Cir. 2013).
