United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ____________ United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit No. 24-10747 Summary Calendar FILED ____________ July 1, 2025 Lyle W. Cayce United States of America, Clerk Plaintiff—Appellee, versus Michael Brandon Crawford, Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 5:24-CR-15-1 ______________________________ Before Smith, Stewart, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.

concurrent sentence as called for by Section 5G1.3(c) of the Sentencing Guidelines.

Because Crawford did not object on this basis in the district court, review is limited to plain error. See United States v. Peterson, 977 F.3d 381, 392 (5th Cir. 2020). The district court explicitly addressed the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors before imposing sentence and gave ample reasons for its decision. See Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 356 (2007). We see no clear or obvious error. In any event, Crawford has not shown that any purported lack of explanation for the consecutive sentence affected his substantial rights. See United States v. Rivera, 784 F.3d 1012, 1018 (5th Cir. 2015).

AFFIRMED.
