United States v. Nash (Foxworth)
Opinion
SUMMARY ORDER
Jason Foxworth challenges his 68-month prison sentence, which was imposed by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York after Fox-worth was convicted of bank fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history, and the issues presented for review.
Appellate review of a district court’s sentence has two components: procedural review and substantive review. United States v. Cavera, 550 F.3d 180, 189 (2d Cir. 2008) (in banc). If the appellate court finds no procedural error, the substantive review is done under an abuse-of-discretion standard. Id. at 187 (citing Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 46, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007)). Under the abuse-of-discretion standard, an appellate court will vacate the district court’s sentence only in “exceptional cases where the trial court’s decision ‘cannot be located within the range of permissible decisions.’ ” Cavera, 550 F.3d at 189 (quoting *572 United States v. Rigas, 490 F.Sd 208, 238 (2d Cir. 2007)).
Concluding that the district court committed no procedural error and that the 68-month sentence it imposed was reasonable and well within “the range of permissible decisions,” we hereby AFFIRM the sentence.
