United States v. Aguilar-Canche
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
In these consolidated appeals, Lauro Aguilar-Canche appeals from the 60-month sentence and the 120-month consecutive sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for various drug offenses, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and (b)(1)(B). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Aguilar-Canche contends that the district court erred by placing undue emphasis on his alleged involvement in a tobacco smuggling scheme while he was detained pretrial, and on the fact that he committed the second offense while on pretrial release for the first offense. The district court conducted a well-reasoned and balanced analysis of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, and the sentence imposed is substantively reasonable. United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is denied.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
