Heading: Consolidated for Sentencing

Text: 13 In finding that defendant's crimes were not factually related, the District Court also determined that defendant's crimes could not be considered consolidated for ... sentencing within the meaning of U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2 Appl. Note 3. We have repeatedly held that two cases will not be considered consolidated for ... sentencing unless the two cases are closely factually related. See United States v. Napoli, 179 F.3d 1, 16 (2d Cir.1999); Mapp, 170 F.3d at 338; Gelzer, 50 F.3d at 1143; Rappaport, 999 F.2d at 60; Patasnik, 89 F.3d at 74; Lopez, 961 F.2d at 386-87. The District Court made the well-supported finding, detailed above, that defendant's crimes were essentially separate and unrelated. Accordingly, the District Court correctly held that defendant's convictions could not be considered to have been consolidated for ... sentencing, and defendant's sentence is affirmed. 14
