United States v. Lindsey

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 00-10560 Conference Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus WILLIAM ANTHONY LINDSEY, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:90-CR-99-A -------------------- December 13, 2000 Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* William Anthony Lindsey appeals from the revocation of his supervised release and reincarceration. Lindsey contends that the district court abused its discretion by revoking his supervised release and sentencing him to two years’ imprisonment. Lindsey argues that the appropriate penalty in his case was reinstatement to supervised release with an order for the Probation Office to provide him with mental-health treatment. Lindsey did not argue in the district court that revocation and reincarceration were inappropriate. Rather, he acknowledged * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 00-10560 -2- at the revocation hearing that the violations he admitted would result in the revocation of his supervised release and his reincarceration. Lindsey’s contention that he should not have been returned to prison is reviewed, if at all, for plain error. See United States v. Harrington, 82 F.3d 83, 90 (5th Cir. 1996). The district court was required to revoke Lindsey’s supervised release. 18 U.S.C. § 3583(g)(1), (3). The 24-month term of imprisonment imposed by the district court was not a violation of law or plainly unreasonable. United States v. Giddings, 37 F.3d 1091, 1093 (5th Cir. 1994). Lindsey has failed to show error, plain or otherwise. AFFIRMED.
