United States v. Dexta

Appellant-Defendant Bolivar Dexta ("Dexta") was convicted, after a jury trial, on three counts related to a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine mixture. His first sentence was vacated by this court pursuant to United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). Following remand, the district court imposed the same sentence it imposed initially. Dexta subsequently appealed his sentence, challenging its reasonableness in light of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and Booker. Because Dexta has failed to demonstrate either that (1) the district courts consideration of the relevant sentencing factors was deficient or (2) the sentence imposed by the district court was substantively unreasonable, we affirm the decision of the district court.
