United States v. Piedad Peralta

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Piedad Peralta appeals from the 24-month sentence imposed following her guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

*592 Peralta contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to consider and address her arguments in support of a variance and to adequately explain its reasons for the sentence. The record reflects that the district court considered all of the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and Peralta’s mitigating arguments, adequately explained the reasons for the sentence, and did not otherwise procedurally err. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc). Further, the record reflects that the low-end 24-month sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51-52, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
