N.D. Ill., E. Div.

Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 24-month term of incarceration on stalking charge even though Dist. Ct. relied, in part, on mental health treatment defendant may have received in prison to explain why incarceration, as opposed to probation, was appropriate disposition. Record showed that Dist. Ct. relied on several factors when imposing instant sentence, including fact that defendant's conduct had significantly impacted multiple people, and Dist. Ct.'s consideration of defendant's need for mental health treatment was not abuse of discretion.
