United States Eighth Circuit

A fifteen-month sentence for violation of supervised release was proper, as defendant's criminal conduct took place within days of his release from custody, and sentence was required to provide deterrence. District court may consider leniency shown in original sentence in determining appropriate sentence upon revocation of supervised release.
