United States v. Louis Sayles

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
United States v. Louis Sayles, 607 F. App'x 606 (8th Cir. 2015)

United States v. Louis Sayles

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

At a supervised-release revocation hearing, Louis Sayles admitted to the district court 1 that he had committed several Grade C violations of his release conditions while serving a second period of supervised release. The court revoked supervised release, and after hearing argument from both sides as to an appropriate revocation sentence and giving Sayles the opportunity for allocution, the court sen-fenced him to 15 months in prison with no additional supervised release. On appeal, Sayles contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable because the district court did not adequately consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. After careful review of the district court’s remarks at the revocation hearing, we reject Sayles’s argument, and conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-16 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). The judgment is affirmed, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw.

. The Honorable Howard F. Sachs, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
