SUMMARY ORDER UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the December 14, 2011 judgment of the District Court be AFFIRMED. On July 25, 2011, Defendant Ernest Williamson pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, 28 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841, 846. Williamson waived his right to appeal any sentence not in excess of 188 months’ imprisonment, 4 years of supervised release, and $150,000 in fines.
The District Court subsequently sentenced Williamson to 151 months’ imprisonment, 5 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment. Williamson now appeals, contending that the imposition of a five-year term of supervised release was substantively unreasonable. We assume familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history of this case. We review a criminal sentence for “unreasonableness,” which “amounts to review for abuse of discretion.” United States v.
Cavera, 550 F.3d 180, 187 (2d Cir.2008) (en banc) (quotation marks omitted); see also In re Sims, 534 F.3d 117,132 (2d Cir.2008) (A district court abuses its discretion if it “base[s] its ruling on an erroneous view of the law or on a clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence, or render[s] a decision that cannot be located within the range of permissible decisions.” (internal citations and quotation marks omitted)). “We have previously likened our review for substantive unreasonableness to the consideration of a motion for a new criminal jury trial, which should be granted only when the jury’s verdict was manifestly unjust, and to the determination of intentional torts by state actors, which should be found only if the alleged tort shocks the conscience.” United States v.
Coplan, 703 F.3d 46, 92 (2d Cir.2012) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). Williamson argues that it was substantively unreasonable to impose five years of supervised release, rather than four, because “[t]here is no basis to suggest that [he] could get through four years of supervised release only to violate the law during the fifth year.” Appellant Br. 25-26. Whatever Williamson may think about the likelihood of his re-offending in the fifth as opposed to fourth year of his supervised release, there is nothing unreasonable about the District Court’s sentence.
Quite to the contrary, the District Court carefully considered Williamson’s extensive recidivist history and made a considered decision that five years represented an appropriate term of supervised release based on the relevant factors set out in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). This decision was not manifestly unjust, shocking to the conscience, an abuse of discretion, or in any other way unreasonable. CONCLUSION We have reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal. For the reasons set out above, we AFFIRM the December 14, 2011 judgment of the District Court. .
The government has waived any objection to the timeliness of Williamson's notice of appeal. See Appellee Br. vii; see also United States v. Mock, 612 F.3d 133, 135 n. 1 (2d Cir.2010) (noting that the timeliness requirement for noticing an appeal under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(
b) is not jurisdictional, and any objection to a failure to timely notice an appeal may be waived).
