United States First Circuit

Following defendant's guilty plea to robbery and brandishing a firearm during a robbery, the district court's imposition of consecutive incarcerative sentences of 72 months and 84 months are affirmed, where: 1) defendant received a sentence that varied from the applicable Guidelines ranges, rather than an upward departure under the Guidelines; and 2) the district court committed no plain error in the variance.
