United States v. Orlando Straw
Opinion
In this direct criminal appeal, Orlando Straw challenges the sentence the district court 1 imposed after revoking his supervised release. In particular, he challenges (1) the length of his prison term, and (2) a no-contact order imposed as a special condition of his supervised release. Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an unreasonable term of imprisonment. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3); United States v. Thunder, 553 F.3d 605, 609 (8th Cir. 2009) (revocation sentence above Guidelines range was not substantively unreasonable where defendant repeatedly violated supervised release); United States v. Tyson, 413 F.3d 824, 825 (8th Cir. 2005) (standard of review). We further conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the no-contact order. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(d)(1) — (3) (factors for court to consider in ordering special condition of supervised release); United States v. Simons, 614 F.3d 475, 478 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We also grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
. The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa.
