   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. District court did not err in imposing an
   upward variance based on its conclusion that defendant's criminal history
   category underrepresented the extent and frequency of defendant's acts
   of domestic abuse and the likelihood that he would recidivate; no error in
   imposing a two-level upward departure; sentence was not unreasonable.
