United States v. Salmons

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
United States v. Salmons, 150 F. App'x 225 (4th Cir. 2005)

United States v. Salmons

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Charles Dustin Salmons appeals the district court’s judgment revoking his supervised release for the second time and sentencing him to six months in prison followed by twelve months of supervised release. On appeal, Salmons argues that his six-month sentence is unreasonable in light of the factors set out in 18 U.S.C.A. § 3553(a) (West 2000 & Supp. 2005), and that the mitigating factors surrounding his employment status warrant modification of the terms and conditions of supervised release. We affirm.

We review a district court’s judgment revoking supervised release and imposing a term of imprisonment for abuse of discretion. United States v. Davis, 53 F.3d 638, 642-43 (4th Cir. 1995). In exercising this discretion, the district court must consider the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C.A. § 3553(a). See 18 U.S.C.A. § 3583(e) (West 2000 & Supp. 2005). Our review of the record convinces us the district court fully considered Salmons’s history and characteristics and did not abuse its discretion.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
