No. 13-20236
conviction for aggravated assault of a family member was a sentence of
imprisonment of more than 60 days that counted for two criminal history
points. He maintains that a sentence of deferred adjudication probation with
inpatient drug treatment does not qualify as a sentence of imprisonment under
the Guidelines. The Government argues that the district court did not err and
that any error was harmless.
The sentence of 71 months of imprisonment was within both the
guidelines range determined by the district court of 70-87 months of
imprisonment and the guidelines range asserted by Jimenez of 57-71 months
of imprisonment. The district court stated and explained a justifiable basis of
why it would impose the sentence of 71 months of imprisonment even if
Jimenez was correct about the proper guidelines sentence range. In light of
these circumstances, any error in calculating Jimenez’s criminal history
category was harmless. See United States v. Richardson,
676 F.3d 491, 511-12
(5th Cir. 2012).
AFFIRMED.
