United States v. Clifford Schuett

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION FEB 23 2011 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 10-10243 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 2:10-cr-00118-RLH v. MEMORANDUM * CLIFFORD JAMES SCHUETT, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Roger L. Hunt, District Judge, Presiding Submitted February 15, 2011 ** Before: CANBY, FERNANDEZ, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges. Clifford James Schuett appeals from the 42-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for threatening to kill or cause damage by explosive, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 844(e). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Schuett contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable given his criminal history and his motivation for committing the offense. In light of the totality of the circumstances and the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), particularly the need for the sentence to reflect the seriousness of the crime and to protect the public, the district court’s sentence is not substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993-94 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc). AFFIRMED. 2 10-10243
