United States v. Gomez

Summary

The Tenth Circuit affirmed Mr. Gomez's 84‑month prison sentence for arson, finding the district court's upward variance and consideration of sentencing factors were not substantively unreasonable. The court held that the district court properly weighed the defendant's mental illness, criminal history, and the seriousness of the offense under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).
