First Circuit: US v. Tanco-Pizarro

In a revocation of supervised release proceeding, challenges raised for the first time in a motion to reconsider the sentence are not preserved for appeal.

Absent a showing of potentially exculpatory evidence, no plain error in denial of discovery and continuance in revocation hearing, given indictment handed down in a parallel proceeding,.

No plain error in considering the magnitude of the offense and the need for just punishment in the revocation proceeding, as they speak to the magnitude of the breach of trust in the parole violation.

Prior compliance with parole waived for not being raised below.

No plain error in an upward variance five times the upper limit of the range, as adequately discussed at sentencing.

Substantively, no abuse of discretion in the sentence, as it's not implausible or indefensible.
