U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-1283
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Western
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Wollman, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The government appeals defendant's
below-guidelines sentence. The government concedes there was no procedural
error and argues that the sentence was substantively unreasonable. The
district court did not abuse its discretion in weighing the 3553(a)
factors, especially defendant's history and characteristics, which
included 20 years of honorable military service and exemplary behavior on
pre-trial release, and the sentence imposed was not substantively
unreasonable.
