The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Volynskiy, No. 10-1523-cr (2nd Cir. 2011):
the weight the district court assigned his immigration consequences, we identify neither procedural error nor an abuse of discretion. See United States v. Mazza-Alaluf, 621 F.3d 205, 214 (2d Cir. 2010) (noting "considerable deference" given to district court "in assigning weight to relevant sentencing factors").
