   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3528
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. Where defendant was convicted of a new offense and violation of the provisions of his supervised release, the district court did not err in making the two sentences consecutive; the district court did not treat the Section 7B1.3(f) of the Guidelines as mandatory regarding consecutive sentences and understood the guidelines were advisory; the decision to make the sentences consecutive was a proper exercise of the district court's discretion.
