U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-3152
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not rely on clearly
erroneous facts in making its sentencing decision; even if the court's
discussion of the dangers of fentanyl was a procedural error, the error
was harmless as the government met its burden to show the sentence would
have been the same despite the alleged error; the court engaged in a
thoughtful and thorough analysis of the Sec. 3553(a) factors, and
defendant's sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
