Description
Before being sentenced on drug charges, Gary Dewayne McComb, Jr. suffered a stroke that left him with severe mental and physical impairments. At sentencing, Mr. McComb argued that his condition -- including the medical attention he required and the unlikelihood he would prove a danger to others or repeat his criminal conduct -- made him a candidate for a downward departure or a variance. The district court disagreed and sentenced Mr. McComb to 135 months in prison, at the bottom of the range suggested by the Sentencing Guidelines. Mr. McComb now appeals, challenging both the procedural and substantive reasonableness of his sentence. While the district courts choice of sentence was perhaps not the only one permissible in this case, we cannot say that the explanation it offered or the result it reached represent an abuse of its discretion. Accordingly, we affirm.
