United States v. Rigsby

ORDER

Casey Rigsby was sentenced to 10 years in prison for possessing a gun after a felony conviction, the statutory maximum for that crime. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2). That sentence is significantly above the guidelines imprisonment range as calculated by the district court, and Rigsby argues that the term is unreasonably long. We conclude that the court likely understated the applicable range, but even if Rigsby’s prison sentence is above the properly calculated range, the court adequately explained its decision to impose the maximum term. We thus uphold the sentence.
