MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Ayon-Robles, 557 F.3d 110 (2nd Cir. 2009):
We review sentences imposed on federal criminal defendants for substantive and procedural reasonableness. United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 261-62, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). When a sentence is imposed with due consideration given to the United States Sentencing Guidelines, we review issues of law de novo. United States v. Selioutsky, 409 F.3d 114, 119 (2d Cir.2005).
