7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Hunter D. Roush
Case No.: 19-3217
Officials: ROVNER, BRENNAN, and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sentencing Guidelines – Supervised Release
The defendant, Hunter D. Roush, pled guilty to transportation of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(1) and (b)(1), and possession of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(5)(B) and (b)(2). The district court imposed a below-Guidelines sentence of 188 months’ imprisonment on Count I and 120 months’ imprisonment on Count II, followed by 10 years of supervised release on each count, all running concurrently. Roush now appeals, arguing that the court erred in failing to properly identify the Guidelines range and that the court erred in failing to consider his primary arguments in mitigation before imposing the sentence. Neither argument has merit. The decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.
Affirmed
