United States v. Holyan Massey

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION APR 22 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 12-10439 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 3:05-cr-00196-PGR v. MEMORANDUM * HOLYAN CARL MASSEY, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Paul G. Rosenblatt, District Judge, Presiding Submitted April 16, 2013 ** Before: CANBY, IKUTA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges. Holyan Carl Massey appeals from the 24-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Massey contends that his statutory maximum sentence is substantively * 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). unreasonable. He argues that the district court gave too much weight to the degree of his intoxication at the time of his arrest, which is not the conduct that triggered the revocation of his supervised release. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Massey’s sentence. See United States v. Gall, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of Massey’s history, his repeated breaches of the court’s trust, and the need to protect the public. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e); United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1062-63 (9th Cir. 2007). To the extent Massey argues that the district court erred by imposing the 24- month sentence for the purpose of rehabilitation, in violation of United States v. Grant, 664 F.3d 276 (9th Cir. 2011), the record reflects that the court did not impose sentence for this purpose. AFFIRMED. 2 12-10439
