var WPFootnote1 = 'Although the district court referred to the defendant as\
Marcos Santos, the record indicates that his real name is Marcos\
Coelho. We will therefore refer to him as "Coelho."\
'

var WPFootnote2 = 'Neither in the district court nor on appeal does Coelho\
contest the applicability of that enhancement under the guidelines.\
'

var WPFootnote3 = 'That same burden applies, post-Booker, to the proponent of a\
statutory factor that would work in the proponent\'s favor. \
Jiménez-Beltre, 440 F.3d at 519.\
'

var WPFootnote4 = 'Coelho suggests that the court\'s reliance on the state\
prosecutor\'s description of the offense conduct contained in the \
presentence report was impermissible under Shepard v. United\
States, 544 U.S. 13 (2005), which limits the kinds of evidence that\
a court may rely upon in determining whether a prior conviction was\
for a "crime of violence" for purposes of increasing a defendant\'s\
statutory minimum sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act. \
However, Shepard and its underlying Sixth Amendment rationale are\
inapplicable where, as here, the evidence relates to a request for\
a reduced rather than an enhanced sentence, United States v.\
Bermúdez, 407 F.3d 536, 544-45 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 126 U.S.\
304 (2005), and does not affect the statutory minimum but only the\
advisory guidelines range, United States v. Gonsalves, 435 F.3d 64,\
73 (1st Cir. 2006). Moreover, if Shepard were applicable, it would\
bar consideration of Coelho\'s proffered version of events as well. \
