United States v. Alexander

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 06-4813 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus JAMES RILEY ALEXANDER, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Richard L. Voorhees, District Judge. (3:92-cr-00053-2) Submitted: March 30, 2007 Decided: May 4, 2007 Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Peter Adolf, FEDERAL DEFENDERS OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, INC., Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellant. Gretchen C. F. Shappert, United States Attorney, Amy E. Ray, Assistant United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: James Riley Alexander was found guilty of violating his supervised release and was sentenced to sixty months of imprisonment, the top of his advisory Sentencing Guidelines range. On appeal, Alexander alleges that his sentence was erroneous. Because we find that Alexander’s sentence is not plainly unreasonable, United States v. Crudup, 461 F.3d 433, 437 (4th Cir. 2006) (stating review standard), we affirm. 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 -
