United States v. Michael McLoone

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Michael McLoone, 671 F. App'x 448 (9th Cir. 2016)

United States v. Michael McLoone

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Michael McLoone appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 24-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

McLoone contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his mental health issues and the district court’s belief that no period of incarceration would deter him. The court did not abuse its discretion in imposing McLoone’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the section 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including McLoone’s criminal history and the need to protect the public. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586 (2007). Moreover, the record reflects that the district court sufficiently explained its reasons for imposing the within-Guidelines sentence. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.
