181276P.pdf 07/03/2019 United States v. Michael Saguto
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-1276
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] Smith, Author, with Colloton and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. With respect to defendant's
speedy trial claim, while the 22-month delay between his indictment and
guilty plea was presumptively prejudicial, the other relevant factors,
such as prejudice and responsibility for the delay, did not favor
defendant, and the district court did not err in finding defendant's Sixth
Amendment rights were not violated by the delay; claim that counsel was
ineffective in failing to raise the issue would not be considered on
direct appeal; defendant's above-guidelines range sentence was not
substantively unreasonable.
