Clerk
United States of America,
Plaintiff—Appellee,
versus
Chansellor Ormon Hill,
Defendant—Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:20-CR-35-1
Before Clement, Higginson, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
Chansellor Ormon Hill appeals the 240-month sentence imposed by
the district court following his guilty-plea conviction of sexual exploitation of
children. The sentence fell below the applicable guidelines range.
*
Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

No. 20-10878
Even if the Government made a clearly erroneous statement at
sentencing regarding the unavailability of civil commitment during
supervised release, Hill fails to show that the district court procedurally erred
by sentencing him based upon that statement. See Gall v. United States, 552
U.S. 38, 49-51 (2007). We presume that Hill’s below-guidelines sentence is
substantively reasonable, see United States v. Simpson, 796 F.3d 548, 557 (5th
Cir. 2015), and his mere disagreement with the district court’s balancing of
the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors is not sufficient to rebut that presumption, see
United States v. Koss, 812 F.3d 460, 472 (5th Cir. 2016). Hill fails to show
that the district court abused its discretion by imposing a substantively
unreasonable sentence. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
