DAVID DAMANTE WILL TURN 41 IN FEDERAL PRISON: “Substantively Reasonable”; 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals Upholds Damante's 14-Month District Court Sentence, 12-Month Post Release Supervision

David Damante, who appealed his current 14-month revocation sentence to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in August 2018, learned he won't be sprung in the spring.

In a memorandum filed February 21, 2019, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the lower court's sentence, stating “the 12-month term of supervised release is substantively reasonable because the nature and number of Damante’s violations”.


Damante, according to official U. S. Bureau of Prison records, is   scheduled to be released from a federal prison in Tucson on June 20, 2019. In his 2018 petition, Damante contended that his sentence was substantively unreasonable. He argued that the district court acted unreasonably in imposing an above-guidelines custodial sentence after crediting his evidence concerning the threats against him, and in imposing a 12-month term of supervised release for “technical” violations. 

Damante turns 41 on March 2.

Unhappy birthday, schmuck!
