United States v. Singleton

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 01-4533 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus BRYANT LASHAWN SINGLETON, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Wilmington. James C. Fox, Senior District Judge. (CR-95-54-F) Submitted: December 7, 2001 Decided: December 20, 2001 Before LUTTIG, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Thomas P. McNamara, Federal Public Defender, Shea Riggsbee Denning, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellant. John Stuart Bruce, United States Attorney, Anne M. Hayes, Assistant United States Attorney, J. Gaston B. Williams, Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Bryant Lashawn Singleton pled guilty to aiding and assisting an attempted escape of a federal prisoner, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 752(a) (1994). The district court sentenced Singleton to eighteen months’ imprisonment, followed by a three year supervised release term. Thereafter, the district court revoked Singleton’s supervised release and imposed a twenty-four month term of impris- onment based on several admitted violations. Singleton’s sole claim on appeal is that his twenty-four month sentence was unreasonable because it exceeded the recommended sen- tencing range of six to twelve months. Finding no abuse of discre- tion in the district court’s revocation sentence, we affirm. See United States v. Davis, 53 F.3d 638 (4th Cir. 1995). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
