7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Cardell D. Brown

Case No.: 15-3496

Officials: KANNE, SYKES, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges

Focus: Attorney Withdrawal

“Counsel also considers but rightly rejects a challenge to the reasonableness of the term of reimprisonment. As required by 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e), the court took into account the pertinent sentencing factors in § 3553(a), including the nature and circumstances of the violation (opining that failing to register as a sex offender is a “very serious crime”), Brown’s history and characteristics (noting his multiple convictions for sex offenses involving children and his frequent parole violations), and the need to encourage Brown to comply with the court’s orders. We would not find the new term of reimprisonment to be plainly unreasonable. See United States v. Jones, 774 F.3d 399, 404–05 (7th Cir. 2014); United States v. Neal, 512 F.3d 427, 438 (7th Cir. 2008).”
