United States v. Billy Robinson, Jr.

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Decided July 22, 2016No. 15-2019PublishedCited by 14 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

WOOD, Chief Judge.

Billy Robinson’s guilty plea was routine; his sentencing hearing was not. Robinson pleaded guilty to two counts of traveling in interstate commerce to facilitate heroin distribution, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1952(a)(3). During his sentencing hearing, the district court went far afield in its comments. We are left without the ability to say confidently that the sentence was imposed in accordance with the proper procedures. We therefore vacate Robinson’s sentence and remand for resentenc-ing. See United States v. Figueroa, 622 F.3d 739, 741 (7th Cir. 2010).
