United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 24-2737 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Ramon W. Ford, also known as R-Lo lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph ____________ Submitted: December 5, 2024 Filed: December 10, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SMITH, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Ramon W. Ford appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release and sentenced him to a below-Guidelines term of imprisonment. His counsel has 1 The Honorable Stephen R. Bough, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the sentence. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917-18 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). There is no indication that the court failed to consider a relevant factor, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing the factors. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e); United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923 (8th Cir. 2006) (considerations for reasonableness of sentence); cf. United States v. Lazarski, 560 F.3d 731, 733 (8th Cir. 2009) (when court imposed below-Guidelines-range sentence, it was “nearly inconceivable” that it abused its discretion in not varying downward still further). Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment. ______________________________ -2-
