United States of America

lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee

v.

Matthew Noel Hutchings

lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville ____________

Submitted: April 30, 2026 Filed: May 5, 2026 [Unpublished] ____________

Before GRUENDER, GRASZ, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Matthew Hutchings appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pled guilty to a tax offense. He challenges his sentence as substantively unreasonable.

Upon careful review, we conclude the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (abuse of discretion review); see also United States v. Mangum, 625 F.3d 466, 469-70 (8th Cir. 2010) (upward variance is reasonable where court makes individualized assessment based on facts presented). Accordingly, we affirm. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.
