Sentencing Guidelines

7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Ladonta Gill

Case No.: 17-1186

Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and KANNE and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing Guidelines

This is Gill’s third time appealing his sentence after he pled guilty in 2011 to one count of conspiracy to possess heroin with intent to distribute. Twice before, we have remanded his case for resentencing. In this appeal, Gill argues he is entitled to yet another resentencing for two reasons. First, he contends that the district court should have reduced his sentencing guidelines offense level because he accepted responsibility. But the district court did not clearly err when it denied Gill the reduction. Second, Gill insists that the district court created unwarranted sentence disparities between himself and his codefendants. But the district court sufficiently addressed the sentence disparities and explained why Gill was receiving a higher sentence than most of his codefendants. Accordingly, we affirm.
