The following excerpt is from United States v. Lamere, No. 15-1078-cr (2nd Cir. 2016):
1. United States v. Aldeen, 792 F.3d 247 (2d Cir. 2015), and United States v. Sindima, 488 F.3d 81 (2d Cir. 2007), on which LaMere relies, warrant no different conclusion because, in both cases, the district court imposed an above-Guidelines sentence of imprisonment upon revocation of supervised release or probation. See United States v. Aldeen, 792 F.3d at 253 (concluding that district court failed adequately to explain in open court and in written statement reasons for imposing "substantially above-Guidelines sentence"); United States v. Sindima, 488 F.3d at 86-88 (concluding that district court failed to provide sufficiently compelling reasons for prison sentence that was 26 months greater than 10-month high end of Guidelines range). That is not this case.
