U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-1455
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Bye and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. It is unnecessary to address whether the
district court erred in finding defendant's prior convictions qualified
him as a career offender as the district court's alternative decision to
vary upward from the advisory guidelines range is sufficient to justify
the sentence imposed; while the court did announce its intended sentence
before granting defendant his right of allocution, the court did invite
him to speak before imposing sentence, and this procedure does not violate
Rule 32(i) or the Constitution.
