UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

WILLIAM CLARK PERSCHMANN,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeals from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:06-CR-263-1

Before DAVIS, JONES and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the 18-month sentence imposed following the revocation of his 

supervised release, William Clark Perschmann argues that the district court 

used the wrong advisory guidelines range. We review this argument for plain 

error due to his failure to present it to the district court. See United States v. 

Whitelaw, 580 F.3d 256, 259 (5th Cir. 2009). To meet this standard, 

Perschmann must show a clear or obvious error that affected his substantial 

 

* 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.

rights. Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009). We have discretion 

to correct such an error but will do so only if it seriously affects the fairness, 

integrity, or public reputation of the proceedings. Puckett, 556 U.S. at 135. 

Perschmann has not shown that the district court plainly erred by concluding 

that the bank robberies that led to the revocation were Grade A violations of 

his release and by using the corresponding guidelines range to sentence him. 

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
