122987U.pdf   03/15/2013  United States  v.  Brandon Jones
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-2987
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs   
   [UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Loken, Bowman and
   Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Assuming the district court erred in
   resolving a factual dispute regarding a prior conviction without taking
   sworn testimony or requiring record evidence of the conviction, the court
   complied with Fed. Crim. P. Rule 32(i)(3)(B) by determining,
   alternatively, that the sentence would be unaffected by the conviction
   since defendant's Criminal History Category score remained the same
   without the point attributable to the conviction.

   error in sentencing defendant, nor did it err in departing upward based on

   involved in defendant's immigration offenses; sentence was not
   substantively unreasonable.

   within-Guidelines-range sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
