United States of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. David Randolph Yeager, Jr., Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 6:06-CR-60056-1
Before ELROD, OLDHAM, and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM
David Randolph Yeager, Jr., pleaded true to a violation of a supervised release condition following a state conviction on child pornography charges. The district court sentenced him to 36 months in prison, to be served consecutively to the state sentence, and imposed a lifetime term of supervised release.
Yeager challenges the substantive reasonableness of his revocation sentence. This court reviews "a sentence imposed after revocation of supervised release under the plainly unreasonable standard of review." United States v. Winding, 817 F.3d 910, 913 (5th Cir. 2016).
Consecutive sentencing is the express policy of the Sentencing Guidelines in the revocation context. United States v. Flores, 862 F.3d 486, 489 (5th Cir. 2017); U.S.S.G. § 7B1.3(f) &comment. (n.4). Further, the length of the sentence and the life term of supervised release were supported by the record, and we have repeatedly affirmed statutory maximum sentences above the revocation policy range. See United States v. Warren, 720 F.3d 321, 332 (5th Cir. 2013). Thus, Yeager has not shown that the sentence is plainly unreasonable.
AFFIRMED.
