United States v. Walker, No. 12-40748 (5th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his sentence of 24 months imprisonment followed by 24 months of supervised release for violating conditions of an earlier sentence of supervised release. Defendant argued that the district court improperly considered his rehabilitative needs in sentencing him.

Accordingly, the district court did not plainly err in imposing defendant's sentence and the court affirmed.
