United States v. Golden

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT October 21, 2004 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 04-30302 Conference Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus CLEVELAND WELDON GOLDEN, JR., Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana USDC No. 00-CR-53-1 -------------------- Before JOLLY, JONES, and WIENER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Cleveland Golden appeals the 120-month sentence he received after he pleaded guilty to one count of armed bank robbery and to one count of carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. Golden argues that the district court made a mistake when it used a total offense level 26 after granting the Government’s motion to reduce his sentence pursuant to FED. R. CRIM. P. 35(b). * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 04-30302 -2- Because the district court could on remand impose the same 120-month sentence under a reasonable application of the Guidelines, and because such a sentence would be in compliance with the terms of the plea agreement, Golden fails to meet his burden of showing that the district court’s mistake constituted plain error. See United States v. Wheeler, 322 F.3d 823, 827-28 (5th Cir. 2003); United States v. Calverley, 37 F.3d 160, 162-64 (5th Cir. 1994)(en banc)(citing United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 731-37 (1993)). AFFIRMED.
