Rowland
United States v. Rowland
Opinion
facts in the record.’” United States v. Grant, 727 F.3d 928, 933 (9th Cir. 2013)
(quoting United States v. Maier, 646 F.3d 1148, 1156 (9th Cir. 2011)).
The district court here explained that Rowland’s extensive history of
repeatedly absconding from supervised release, driven by his substance abuse,
even after a prior revocation sentence involving a combination of a shorter term of
imprisonment and additional supervised release, demonstrated that he was no
longer suitable for community supervision. This history is a cognizable sentencing
factor under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1), documenting the “nature and circumstances of
the offense and the history and characteristics of the defendant.” The twenty-four-
month duration of the sentence was also the same as the term of supervised release
from which Rowland had most recently absconded. The sentence and explanation
3 was grounded in the record and consideration of the factors prescribed in 18 U.S.C.
§ 3583(e), and was not illogical, implausible, or without support in inferences that
may be drawn from the facts in the record.
AFFIRMED.
