What is the substantive reasonableness of the sentence imposed on the Defendant?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Valente, No. 15-3912-cr (2nd Cir. 2017):
The Defendant challenges the substantive reasonableness of the sentence, but in light of our decision to remand for resentencing, we decline to address the substantive reasonableness of the sentence imposed. See, e.g., United States v. Malki, 718 F.3d 178, 181 (2d Cir. 2013) (per curiam) (declining to address substantive reasonableness in light of remand for resentencing).
