United States v. Lamon Christensen

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Lamon Christensen, 356 F. App'x 965 (9th Cir. 2009)
Alarcón, Trott, Tashima

United States v. Lamon Christensen

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Lamon Lee Christensen appeals from the eight-month sentence imposed following revocation of the supervised release term he was serving following a jury-trial conviction for armed bank robbery and use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Christensen contends that the district court erred by imposing consecutive three-year and two-year terms of supervised release as part of the sentence on the underlying conviction. As a result, he argues that the district court lacked jurisdiction to revoke his supervised release because his supervision expired upon completion of the initial three-year term, which occurred pri- or to the conduct resulting in the revocation of supervised release. We decline to reach the merits of this argument because an appeal challenging a revocation proceeding is not the proper avenue through which to attack the validity of the original sentence. See United States v. Gerace, 997 F.2d 1293, 1295 (9th Cir. 1993).

AFFIRMED.
