United States v. Canter

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Canter, 164 F. App'x 648 (9th Cir. 2006)

United States v. Canter

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

David Canter appeals the district court’s judgment, reaffirming his sentence, on remand from this court for further proceedings under U.S. v. Castro, 382 F.3d 927 (9th Cir. 2004) (per curiam).

The district court issued this decision on remand after the Supreme Court had decided U.S. v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), holding *649that the Guidelines were advisory and not mandatory. Canter now asks that the matter be remanded again, because, he contends, the district court still must make an express finding that the prior sentence was reasonable before it may lawfully reaffirm the prior sentence. On the basis of this record, no such finding is now required. There is no suggestion in the record of any reason why this sentence should be deemed unreasonable. None has been presented in the briefs or at oral argument. Another remand is not necessary.

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
