United States v. Jeffery Marshall
United States v. Jeffery Marshall
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Jeffery Marshall appeals from the 200-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Marshall contends that the within-Guidelines range sentence is substantively unreasonable because the district court’s application of the career offender enhancement over-represented the seriousness of his past offenses. The record reflects that the district court gave thorough consideration to Marshall’s arguments in support of his request for a sentence below the Guidelines range, but found the circumstances insufficient to warrant such a sentence. Furthermore, the district court conducted a reasoned and thorough analysis of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors prior to imposing a sentence toward the lower end of the advisory Guidelines range. Accordingly, the sentence imposed is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Stoterau, 524 F.3d 988, 999-1002 (9th Cir. 2008).
AFFIRMED.
