United States v. Gonzalo Serrano-Villalobos

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Gonzalo Serrano-Villalobos appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 180-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for multiple drug offenses in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a) and 846. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Serrano-Villalobos contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because the district court failed to grant a departure on the ground that his criminal history category was overstated. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Serrano-Villalobos’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The below-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of circumstances, including the offense conduct. See id.

AFFIRMED.
