United States First Circuit

In a criminal case in which defendant was sentenced for his guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm with an agreed sentencing range of thirty to thirty-seven months, but after the district court tallied all the points for what defendant did with that firearm burgling a house then shooting a police officer as he tried to flee the scene--the court landed on a sentence of ten years, the statutory maximum, the sentence is affirmed over defendant's claims of an unreasonable sentence and ineffective assistance of counsel.
