United States v. Growden, No. 11-1488 (8th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of wire fraud offenses and sentenced to 27 months' imprisonment followed by a three-year term of supervised release. After defendant's second guilty plea to violating the terms of his supervised release, the district court revoked defendant's supervised release and sentenced him to the statutory maximum 24 months' imprisonment, a variance above the guideline-recommended sentence of three to nine months. Defendant appealed the sentence, arguing that it was substantively unreasonable. The court held that the district court acted well within its broad discretion in selecting a term of 24 months' imprisonment, followed by one year of supervised release. Accordingly, the judgment and sentence was affirmed.
Court Description: Criminal case - Sentencing. Sentence imposed upon revocation of defendant's supervised release was not substantively unreasonable.
