United States v. Jefferson

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Peter John Jefferson appeals from the 24-month sentence imposed after the revocation of his term of supervised release. This court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 8742.

Jefferson argues the district court failed to consider the factors enumerated in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), as incorporated by 18 U.S.C. § 3583. However, the district court found Jefferson failed more than once to meet the conditions of his supervised release and was a danger to his community. This explanation shows that the district court took the § 3553(a) factors adequately into account in fashioning a sentence. See United States v. Musa, 220 F.3d 1096, 1101 (9th Cir. 2000) (holding district court’s finding that defendant was a danger to the community was sufficient explanation for application of statutory maximum term of incarceration after revocation of supervised release). Having considered various factors before imposing a sentence at the statutory maximum, the district court fashioned a reasonable sentence. See id.

AFFIRMED.
