191210P.pdf   07/23/2020  United States  v.  Darwin Red Cloud
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1210
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Rapid City   
   [PUBLISHED] Kelly, Author, with Loken and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. The government appeals defendant's 
   below-guidelines sentence. The district court did not abuse its discretion 
   in weighing the 3553(a) factors or in imposing the below-guidelines 
   sentence; a variance of the magnitude granted here requires serious 
   consideration by the district court, and it is evident from the sentencing 
   record that the district court gave the matter the serious consideration 
   it required.
