U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 23-1514
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Erickson and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The parties' Rule 11(c)(1)(A) plea agreement
was not binding on the court; the district court did not abuse its
discretion in departing upward to reflect the seriousness of the offense,
including uncharged conduct; the amount of the departure was not
unreasonable; the district court's local rules prohibit the court from
disclosing the probation officer's sentencing recommendation, and the
district court did not clearly err in failing to sua sponte disclose the
recommendation to defendant.
