United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.

October 2, 2012.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John F. Walsh , United States Attorney, and Paul Farley , Assistant U.S. Attorney, Denver, CO, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Scott T. Poland of Poland and Wheeler, P.C., Lakewood, CO, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before LUCERO, O'BRIEN, and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.


O'BRIEN, Circuit Judge.

Denise Ann Vigil appeals from a twelve-month prison sentence imposed on February 7, 2012, following a series of revocations of probation or supervised release. She argues the sentence is unreasonable because it is three months longer than the maximum recommended by the Sentencing Guidelines and no exceptional circumstances warranted the variance. The judge imposed condign punishment. We affirm.
