United States First Circuit

In a conviction of defendant for firearms related offenses, district court's imposition of a 72-months' imprisonment is affirmed, as the record shows that the district court did consider the statutory sentencing factors when it imposed a consecutive sentence, carefully considered defendant's arguments regarding his cooperation with the government in apprehending other members of the conspiracy in granting a 15-month downward variance from the government's recommended sentence, and the defendant's counsel specifically recognized that the district court had considered the relevant factors under 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a).
