MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Greenland, No. 18-1761 (2nd Cir. 2019):
We review sentences for unreasonableness, which "amounts to review for abuse of discretion." United States v. Cavera, 550 F.3d 180, 187 (2d Cir. 2008) (en banc). "A sentencing judge has very wide latitude to decide the proper degree of punishment for an individual offender and a particular crime." Id. at 188. While a district court "may not presume that a Guidelines sentence is reasonable"
