United States v. Kippers, No. 11-30414 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to using a communication facility in committing conspiracy to possess cocaine hydrochloride with the intent to distribute it. Defendant was sentenced to three years of probation. Two years later, the probation office successfully petitioned the district court to issue a warrant for Defendant based on a violent incident that resulted in his arrest. The district court subsequently revoked Defendant's probation and sentenced him to four years of imprisonment with no term of supervised release. The court also ordered Defendant not to have contact with his daughter. The Fifth Circuit affirmed the sentence the district court imposed upon revoking Defendant's probation, holding that because Defendant did now show the court committed a procedural error or that his sentence was substantively unreasonable, he did not show that his sentence was plainly unreasonable.
