U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-1004
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Arnold and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The revocation sentence imposed was not
substantively unreasonable; it is not unreasonable for a sentencing court
to demonstrate with an upward variance that contemptuous disregard for the
law can have serious consequences; the upward variance was not imposed to
enable the defendant to complete a treatment program or otherwise promote
rehabilitation.
