United States v. Donald Warwick

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Donald Wayne Warwick appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the ten-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Warwick contends that the district court erred procedurally by considering improper sentencing factors and by failing to *794 address his mitigation arguments. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010), and find none. The record shows that the district court relied on proper sentencing factors and adequately-considered Warwick’s arguments. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e); United States v. Stoterau, 524 F.3d 988, 999-1000 (9th Cir. 2008) (except in unusual or complex cases, where the record reflects that the district court considered the defendant’s arguments, the court need not provide extensive explanation for a within-Guidelines sentence).

Warwick further contends that the ten-month revocation sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Warwick’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The within-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the section 3583(e) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Warwick’s prior supervised release violation and breach of the court’s trust. See United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1062-63 (9th Cir. 2007).

AFFIRMED.
