United States v. Lamont Fitch

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
United States v. Lamont Fitch, 355 F. App'x 871 (6th Cir. 2009)

United States v. Lamont Fitch

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Defendant-Appellant Lamont C. Fitch appeals his sentence of six months for assaulting a safety manager while an inmate at United States Penitentiary, Big Sandy, in Inez, Kentucky. The district court’s decision, after considering the factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), to make the six-month sentence run consecutive to Fitch’s ongoing unfulfilled sentence was not an abuse of discretion. See United States v. Watford, 468 F.3d 891, 915-17 (6th Cir. 2006); United States v. Gibson, 896 F.2d 206, 210 (6th Cir. 1990). The district court’s decision to impose a six-month sentence, after considering the factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), was neither procedurally nor substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Jones, 445 F.3d 865, 869 (6th Cir. 2006). Therefore, we AFFIRM the district court’s decision.
