United States v. Salvador Sanchez-Miranda

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Salvador Sanchez-Miranda, 455 F. App'x 780 (9th Cir. 2011)

United States v. Salvador Sanchez-Miranda

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Salvador de Jesus Sanchez-Miranda appeals from the 77-month sentence imposed following his jury-trial conviction for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Sanchez-Miranda contends that his below-Guidelines sentence is unreasonable because the district court failed to grant a downward departure based on his cultural assimilation and reasons for reentering the United States. The record reflects that the district court considered Sanchez-Miranda’s cultural assimilation and motivations for reentering, and imposed a sentence that is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51-52, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
