CHAVEZ-MEZA v. UNITED STATES
Supreme Court of the US, Breyer, June 18, 2018,
Sentencing – At re-sentencing and sentencing, a judge has not automatically failed to explain “the reason for imposing a sentence at a particular point” by using a standardized form stating that the judge has “considered” the defendant’s argument and “taken into account” the standard sentencing factors. Whether or not this is enough will depend on the facts of the case.

(Dissent- Kennedy with Sotomayor and Kagan – A standard form is not sufficient for the defendant to know why his request was denied or a particular sentence imposed)
