191885P.pdf 09/13/2021 United States v. Colin Michael
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1885
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kelly, Circuit
Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing. For the court's prior opinion concluding the
district court procedurally erred in sentencing defendant upon the
revocation of his probation, see U.S. v. Michael, 909 F.3d 990 (8th Cir.
2018). On remand, the district court imposed the same 96-month sentence,
and defendant appeals, contending the sentence is substantively
unreasonable. This court has held that on the revocation of probation, a
sentence that falls within the original Sentencing Guidelines range for
the underlying crime is presumptively reasonable; here, the court
sentenced defendant below the original Guidelines range, and the sentence
is not substantively unreasonable. Judge Kelly, dissenting.
