7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Patrick Armand

Case No.: 16-2991

Officials: BAUER, POSNER, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Patrick Armand pleaded guilty to distributing crack and powder cocaine, in violationof 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), and was sentenced to 108 months’ imprisonment, and a five-year term of supervised release subject to certain special conditions. On appeal we reversed, finding that the district court imposed unconstitutionally vague conditions of supervised release and failed to justify the discretionary conditions and the length of supervision. We remanded the case for a full resentencing. See United States v. Armand, 638 F. App’x 504 (7th Cir. 2016). Armand was resentenced to 104 months’ imprisonment and a three-year term of supervised release. He again appeals, contending that the district court committed a host of procedural and substantive errors. Forthe reasons that follow, we affirm.
