151607P.pdf   12/09/2015  United States  v.  Aurelio Abrica-Sanchez
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1607
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Beam and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - sentencing. District court did not err in construing prior 
   conviction for domestic assault as a felony, increasing the maximum 
   penalty for illegal reentry to ten years under section 1326(b)(1); 
   district court did not clearly err in finding defendant had not supported 
   his children for 13 years or finding a lack of employment history; lack of 
   employment history is not a prohibited sentencing factor; district court 
   did not abuse its discretion in granting an upward variance, appropriately 
   taking into account section 3553(a) factors. Sentence was not 
   substantively reasonable.
