United States v. Dmontrey Redmond
Opinion
United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 22-1024 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Dmontrey Rayshawn Redmond, also known as Leafo lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids ____________ Submitted: June 8, 2022 Filed: June 13, 2022 [Unpublished] ____________ Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.
Dmontrey Redmond received a 120-month prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). In an Anders brief, Redmond’s counsel suggests that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). A pro se supplemental brief claims that trial counsel was ineffective.
We conclude that the sentence is reasonable. The record establishes that the district court 1 sufficiently considered the statutory sentencing factors, 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and did not rely on an improper factor or commit a clear error of judgment. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc). The ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim, meanwhile, will have to await collateral review. See United States v. Ramirez-Hernandez, 449 F.3d 824, 826–27 (8th Cir. 2006) (explaining that this type of claim is “usually best litigated in collateral proceedings”).
Finally, we have independently reviewed the record and conclude that no other non-frivolous issues exist. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82–83 (1988).
We accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court and grant counsel permission to withdraw. ______________________________
The Honorable C.J. Williams, United States District Court Judge for the Northern District of Iowa. -2-
