U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-3441
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Defendant did not object to the adequacy of
the court's explanation of its sentencing decision and his claim that the
court committed procedural error by failing to provide an adequate
explanation of why time served was not a sufficient sentence is reviewed
for plain error; a court need not respond to every argument presented at
sentencing, and the record the court created in this sentencing was
sufficient to show the court had considered the defendant's arguments and
had a reasoned basis for its decision; below-guidelines sentence was
substantively reasonable.
