United States v. Amanda Bermea

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Amanda Bermea, 360 F. App'x 560 (5th Cir. 2010)

United States v. Amanda Bermea

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Amanda Celina Bermea appeals the 30-month sentence imposed following the revocation of her supervised release for failing to submit to drug testing, failing to attend drug counseling, and failing to report to her probation officer. Bermea argues that her sentence, which was above the guidelines range, is unreasonable because it is greater than necessary to accomplish the sentencing objectives of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).

Because Bermea did not object to the reasonableness of her sentence in the district court, review is limited to plain error only. See United States v. Whitelaw, 580 F.3d 256, 259 (5th Cir. 2009). The 30-month sentence did not exceed the statutory maximum term of imprisonment authorized upon revocation of supervised release. Bermea has therefore not shown plain error with regard to the reasonableness of her sentence. See id. at 265.

AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
