United States of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Montes D. King Defendant - Appellant
Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City [Unpublished] Before WOLLMAN, BYE, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
Montes King directly appeals after the district court revoked his supervised release and sentenced him within the Chapter 7 advisory Guidelines range to 18 months in prison. King's counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief arguing that King's sentence is substantively unreasonable. King has filed a pro se brief arguing that his due process rights were violated.
The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an unreasonable revocation sentence. See United States v. Growden, 663 F.3d 982, 984 (8th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (describing appellate review of revocation sentences); United States v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822, 824 (8th Cir. 2009) (applying presumption of substantive reasonableness to revocation sentence within Guidelines range). We also conclude that no due process violation occurred in light of counsel's and King's statements at the revocation hearing. Cf. United States v. Taylor, 747 F.3d 516, 519-20 (8th Cir. 2014) (affirming revocation where defendant did not voice objections despite being afforded opportunity to speak after his attorney had conceded violations).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We also grant counsel's motion for leave to withdraw.
