United States v. Dragon

Defendant Shalon Dragon contends his criminal sentence was unreasonable under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), because the District Court did not adequately consider the so-called parsimony provision of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) in reaching his sentence. He also challenges the addition of two criminal-history points assessed to him upon the District Courts finding that Dragon committed the crime of conviction while on probation. We have jurisdiction to review Dragons sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a). See United States v. Cooper, 437 F.3d 324, 327 (3d Cir. 2006). For the reasons set forth below, we will affirm.
