UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Vanessa MAYO, Defendant-Appellant
Vanessa Mayo appeals the above-guidelines sentence imposed for the third revocation of her supervised release. She argues only that the 30-month sentence is substantively unreasonable.
Given Mayo’s objection at sentencing, we review her substantive reasonableness challenge under the “plainly unreasonable” standard. See United States v. Miller, 634 F.3d 841, 843 (5th Cir. 2011). Mayo’s arguments, however, essentially amount to a disagreement with the district court’s assessment of the sentencing factors, which this court will not reweigh. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). Thus, Mayo has failed to show that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. See Miller, 634 F.3d at 843; United States v. Whitelaw, 580 F.3d 256, 260 (5th Cir. 2009); see, e.g., United States v. Kippers, 685 F.3d 491, 500-01 (5th Cir. 2012).
Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
