Villarreal-Garcia v. United States
Petition granted, judgment vacated and case remanded for further consideration in light of Rosales-Mireles v. United States on June 28, 2018.
Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit permissibly exercised its discretion in determining that errors in the calculation of the petitioner’s advisory Sentencing Guidelines range did not warrant relief on plain-error review because they did not seriously affect the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings.
