United States v. Solano-Hernandez
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Cesar Solano-Hernandez appeals from the 135-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for distribution of 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Solano-Hernandez contends that the district court abused its discretion when it failed to grant his request for a downward departure, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3(b), based on his argument that his Criminal History Category overrepresented his prior convictions. We review the overall sentence for reasonableness. See United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 761 (9th Cir. 2008). In light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, the sentence is reasonable. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
