United States First Circuit

Sentence for aiding and abetting the receipt and possession of an illegally modified firearm is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not impose a period of incarceration and supervised release involving home confinement in excess of the statutory maximum; 2) defendant's argument that a district court may not impose "any" period of home detention following incarceration was tenuous at best, and he failed to cite any applicable precedent; and 3) in any event, any error was not plain.
