Background
Alondra Rebolledo appealed her sentence after pleading guilty to drug and firearm offenses, challenging a drug-premises enhancement and the denial of her motion for a downward departure or variance.
The court’s reasoning
The court concluded that the district court did not clearly err in determining that Rebolledo maintained a drug premises. The denial of a downward departure was not reviewable as the district court acknowledged its authority to depart, and there was no claim of unconstitutional motive. The court also found no abuse of discretion in denying a downward variance.
What it means going forward
The sentence imposed by the district court remains in effect.
