Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Washington

Robert J. Bryan, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted July 15, 2025** Before: SILVERMAN, TALLMAN, and BUMATAY, Circuit Judges.

Dimitri J. Powell appeals from the district court’s judgment revoking supervised release and challenges the 15-month sentence imposed. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Powell contends that the district court erred by failing to (1) calculate the

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Guidelines range, (2) address Powell’s mitigating arguments, and (3) offer a sufficient explanation for its sentencing decision. We review these claims for plain error. See United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010).

The district court did not plainly err. Although the court did not state the Guidelines range explicitly, it was undisputed that the applicable Guidelines range was 21-27 months. See U.S.S.G. § 7B1.4 (the criminal history category applicable at the time the defendant was originally sentenced applies at a subsequent revocation hearing). Powell argued that this range was “too high” because some of his prior convictions had been invalidated and asked the court to exercise its “unlimited discretion” to sentence him within the lower 12-18 month range that would apply without those convictions. The court then did so, explaining that— though Powell’s history was “shaky”—15 months was sufficient to sanction his violations. On this record, Powell has not demonstrated a reasonable probability that he would have received a different sentence absent the alleged errors. See United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 762 (9th Cir. 2008).

AFFIRMED.
