United States v. Henry, Jamar

UNPUBLISHED ORDER Not to be cited per Circuit Rule 53 United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit Chicago, Illinois 60604 Argued April 4, 2005 Decided November 8, 2005 Before Hon. RICHARD A. POSNER, Circuit Judge Hon. ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge Hon. ANN CLAIRE WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge No. 04-2036 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ] Appeal from the United Plaintiff-Appellee, ] States District Court for ] the Central District of ] Illinois ] v. ] No. 02 CR 30056 ] ] JAMAR HENRY, ] Defendant-Appellant. ] Richard Mills, ] Judge. ORDER This case is on appeal from a limited remand from our court pursuant to United States v. Paladino, 401 F.3d 471, 483-84 (7th Cir. 2005). United States v. Henry, 408 F.3d 930, 935 (7th Cir. 2005). The district court has now determined that it would impose the same sentence if we were to vacate the judgment and remand for re-sentencing even in light of the advisory nature of the Guidelines. We must therefore determine whether the sentence is reasonable. If it is, then any No. 04-2036 2 Sixth Amendment violation in the sentencing process did not affect his substantial rights and thus did not constitute plain error. The parties have had the opportunity to file arguments concerning the appropriate disposition of the appeal in light of the district court’s decision, but only the government has availed itself of that opportunity. Henry’s sentence is within the Guideline range, and therefore we must presume that the sentence of 262 months in prison, 8 years supervised release, and a $100.00 special assessment, is reasonable. United States v. Mykytiuk, 415 F.3d 606, 608 (7th Cir. 2005). A defendant may rebut that presumption by demonstrating that his sentence is unreasonable in light of the factors identified in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). The district court’s order reveals that the court considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, and that it properly applied those factors in determining that it would give the same sentence. There are no apparent errors in the court’s consideration of those factors, nor does Henry raise any argument to this court that the sentence is unreasonable. Accordingly, we affirm Henry’s sentence.
