U.S. v. Vaughn, 8th Cir. Mar. 25, 2008
06-3626 U.S. v. Vaughn
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau
Girardeau [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman, and John R. Gibson, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - sentencing. Applying plain error review, district court erred in applying a presumption of reasonableness, but error was harmless as there is no indication district court would have sentenced him more favorably absent presumption. Although district court stated it was to impose a “reasonable sentence,” it is clear that court followed proper procedures. District court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing defendant.
