131834P.pdf   06/06/2014  United States  v.  Maurice Sayles
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1834
                          and No:  13-1874
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Loken, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Defendants' sentences were not substantively 
   unreasonable where the district court varied upwards based on their 
   criminal history, their roles in the offense, the seriousness of the 
   offenses, and the need for deterrence and public protection; since 
   defendant Maurice Sayles' sentence would have been the same without the 
   government's comments at sentencing, this breach of the plea agreement did 
   not require reversal under the plain error standard.
