United States v. Michael Mattea

Griffith, Circuit Judge:

Michael Mattea pleaded guilty to the distribution of child pornography and agreed to an estimated sentencing range of 151 to 188 months in prison under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines ("Guidelines"). The district court sentenced Mattea to 151 months' incarceration. Mattea appeals, arguing that the district court abused its discretion by miscalculating the Guidelines range through application of an inappropriate enhancement and by refusing to impose a sentence below the Guidelines range. We reject Mattea's arguments and affirm the district court's sentence.
