United States v. Lucious

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Lucious, 451 F. App'x 682 (9th Cir. 2011)

United States v. Lucious

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM**

Charles Lucious appeals from the 60-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Lucious contends that his below-Guidelines sentence was substantively unreasonable because the district court determined that he was not harmed by his indictment being delayed. In light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the 10-month downward variance Lucious was granted for his rehabilitative efforts during the indictment delay period, Lucious’s criminal history, and the new crimes Lu-cious committed during the indictment delay period, Lucious’s below-Guidelines sentence is not substantively unreasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
