United States v. Richard Miezin

OPINION

BERNICE BOUIE DONALD, Circuit Judge.

Following a guilty plea on a child-pornography charge, the district court sentenced Richard J. Miezin to 168 months’ imprisonment. Miezin appeals his sentence on two grounds: (1) that the Government breached the plea agreement in its sentencing memorandum and at the sentencing hearing by arguing for a sentencing enhancement that was contrary to the terms of the agreement; and (2) that the district court erred in applying the enhancement. For the reasons discussed below, we AFFIRM Miezin’s 168-month sentence.
