United States v. Simtob

Appellant Solomon Bitton Simtob raises three issues in this consolidated appeal from the district courts sentence following revocation of his supervised release and from his conviction and sentence. We first address whether, in light of United States v. Miqbel, 444 F.3d 1173 (9th Cir. 2006), the sentence imposed following revocation of Simtobs supervised release was reasonable. We next address whether the district court abused its discretion when it failed to conduct an inquiry of a juror concerning a complaint that Simtob was "eye-balling" the juror and that the juror felt "threatened." Finally, Simtob challenges the reasonableness of the sentence imposed for his conviction.
