                284 (1996) (observing that "[a] sentence within the statutory limits is not
                cruel and unusual punishment unless the statute fixing punishment is
                unconstitutional or the sentence is so unreasonably disproportionate to
                the offense as to shock the conscience" (internal quotation marks
                omitted)).
                              Having concluded that Hughes is not entitled to relief, we
                              ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
