United States v. Rodriguez-Gonzalez

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Rodriguez-Gonzalez, 265 F. App'x 578 (9th Cir. 2008)

United States v. Rodriguez-Gonzalez

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Jose Luis Rodriguez-Gonzalez appeals from the district court’s decision, following a limited remand under United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1084-85 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc), that it would not have imposed a different sentence had it known that the Sentencing Guidelines were advisory. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Rodriguez-Gonzalez contends that the district court erred by failing to give him the opportunity to submit new evidence on remand and by failing to provide an explanation for its determination that it would not have imposed a materially different sentence had it known the Guidelines were advisory. Both arguments are foreclosed by United States v. Combs, 470 F.3d 1294, 1296-97 (9th Cir. 2006).

Rodriguez-Gonzalez’ argument that the district court erred by re-sentencing him without a hearing is foreclosed by United States v. Silva, 472 F.3d 683, 686 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 128 S.Ct. 201, 169 L.Ed.2d 135 (2007).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
