United States v. Clement King

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Clement King, 588 F. App'x 630 (9th Cir. 2014)

United States v. Clement King

Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

Following his conviction for sexual abuse of a minor and attempted receipt of child pornography, Clement King was sentenced to 365 months’ imprisonment. On appeal, a panel of this court vacated his sentence after determining that the district court committed procedural error in calculating King’s Sentencing Guidelines range. United States v. King, 468 Fed.Appx. 734 (9th Cir. 2012). On remand, the district court properly calculated the Guidelines range as 151 to 188 months, but imposed the same sentence of 365 months’ imprisonment. In this appeal, King asserts that his sentence was substantively unreasonable.

We review the substantive reasonableness of a sentence for “abuse of discretion.” United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc). We may only vacate the sentence if we have “a definite and firm conviction that the district court committed a clear error of judgment in the conclusion it reached upon *631 weighing the relevant factors.” United States v. Amezcua-Vasquez, 567 F.3d 1050, 1055 (9th Cir. 2009). In light of this deferential standard of review, we AFFIRM.
