U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

United States v. Andino-Arroyo

August 4, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the thirty-six-month sentence imposed after the fourth revocation of Andino-Arroyo's supervised release. It held that Andino forfeited both appellate arguments and, under plain-error review, failed to show that the district court inadequately explained the upward variance or unmistakably relied on retribution, an impermissible consideration under the governing revocation statute.
