United States v. Jose Giles
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Jose Carranza Giles appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 46-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to import cocaine and methamphetamine, in •violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952, 960, and 963. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the 46-month sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The sentence is not substantively unreasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, including not only Giles’s minimal criminal history and any threats he experienced, but also the need for the sentence to reflect the seriousness of the offense and promote respect for the law. See id. at 51,128 S.Ct. 586.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
