United States v. Jose Gallardo-Dedios

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Jose Gallardo-Dedios, 468 F. App'x 799 (9th Cir. 2012)

United States v. Jose Gallardo-Dedios

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jose Gallardo-Dedios appeals from the 188-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Gallardo-Dedios contends his sentence is substantively unreasonable because it is higher than the sentences of his co-defendants, resulting in an unwarranted sentencing disparity. The bottom-of-the-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc); United States v. Plouffe, 445 F.3d 1126, 1131 (9th Cir. 2006) (“[S]entencing courts are to consider how the sentencing factors apply to each defendant and determine whether an individualized sentence is warranted.”).

AFFIRMED.
