193268P.pdf   12/17/2020  United States  v.  Brian Barthman
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3268
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Stras and Kobes, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. For the court's prior opinion remanding this matter for resentencing, see U.S. v. Barthman, 919 F.3d 1118, 1120 (8th Cir. 2019). The district court did not abuse its discretion in determining the sentence, and the sentence imposed was not substantively unreasonable; the district court clearly erred in its implicit finding that defendant was not indigent and erred in imposing the $5,000 special assessment pursuant to the provisions of the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act; the PSR showed defendant had a significant negative net worth and there was little likelihood defendant would obtain employment when released, given his record and probable age (80); defendant was indigent for purposes of the Act and the court erred in imposing the enhancement; the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's pro se motion to withdraw his guilty plea.
