United States v. Michael McCready

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Michael Edward McCready appeals from the 108-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for securities fraud, in violation of 15 U.S.C. *555 §§ 78j(b) and 78ff. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

McCready contends that the district court erred at sentencing by failing to consider the facts of McCready’s case and miscalculating the Guidelines range when it failed to depart downward under U.S.S.G. § 5K2.16 for voluntary disclosure. The record reflects that the district court did not procedurally err, and in light of the totality of the circumstances, the within-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc); United States v. Mohamed, 459 F.3d 979, 986 (9th Cir. 2006) (stating that the departure scheme has “essentially” been replaced by the requirement that judges impose a ‘reasonable’ sentence).

AFFIRMED.
