IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
United States Court of Appeals
No. 14-10589
Fifth Circuit
FILED
Summary Calendar November 6, 2014
Lyle W. Cayce
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Clerk
Plaintiff - Appellee
v.
ARCHIE DALE GOODMAN,
Defendant - Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:12-CR-14-2
Before JOLLY, BARKSDALE, and OWEN, Circuit Judges:
PER CURIAM: *
Archie Dale Goodman challenges his sentence of, inter alia, 17 months’
imprisonment, imposed following the revocation of his supervised release.
Because Goodman did not object to the following claimed errors, review is only
for plain error. E.g., United States v. Broussard,
669 F.3d 537, 546 (5th Cir.
2012). Under that standard, Goodman must show a forfeited plain (clear or
obvious) error that affected his substantial rights. Puckett v. United States,
* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir.
R. 47.5.4.

No. 14-10589
556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009). If he does so, we have the discretion to correct the
error, but should do so only if it seriously affects the fairness, integrity, or
public reputation of the proceedings.
Id.
Goodman claims: the district court erred in failing to provide an
adequate explanation for imposing the sentence, which was above the range
recommended in the non-binding Sentencing Guidelines policy statements;
and this claimed error affected his substantial rights because the sentence was
based on a miscalculation in his criminal-history score for his underlying
possession-of-stolen-mail conviction. For the following reasons, there was no
reversible plain error.
Implicit consideration of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors is sufficient in a
revocation proceeding. E.g., United States v. Gonzalez,
250 F.3d 923, 930 (5th
Cir. 2001). Moreover, the district court stated that Goodman’s sentence
addresses the issues of adequate deterrence and protection of the public, two
of the § 3553(a) factors that are permissible considerations in a revocation
proceeding. 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2)(B),(C). Goodman cannot show that a more
thorough explanation would have resulted in a lesser sentence or that the
district court would impose a lesser sentence on remand. United States v.
Whitelaw,
580 F.3d 256, 264-65 (5th Cir. 2009). Additionally, regarding
Goodman’s challenge to his revocation sentence based on a miscalculated
criminal-history score for his sentence for stolen mail, “a defendant may not
use the appeal of a revocation of supervised release to challenge an underlying
conviction or original sentence”. United States v. Willis,
563 F.3d 168, 170 (5th
Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
