United States v. Meng Tuan Wang

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT June 14, 2007 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 06-10179 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus MENG TUAN WANG, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:03-CR-21-2 -------------------- Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Meng Tuan Wang appeals from the sentence imposed at resentencing pursuant to his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute approximately 1,000 doses of MDMA. Wang was sentenced to 100 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised release. Wang argues that the imposed sentence was unreasonable because (1) there was an unwarranted disparity between his sentence and his codefendant’s sentence, (2) his sentence failed to reflect his rehabilitative progress following his original sentencing, and * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 06-10179 -2- (3) his sentence should have been lower in light of the weak evidence against him. Wang correctly concedes that his first argument is foreclosed by this court’s holding in United States v. Duhon, 440 F.3d 711, 720 (5th Cir. 2006). His remaining arguments fail to show that his sentence was unreasonable, especially in light of the great deference accorded under United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 518-20 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 126 S. Ct. 43 (2005). The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
