United States v. Meza-Flores
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Angel Meza-Flores contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sen
Meza-Flores also contends that his above-Guidelines sentence is substantively unreasonable. In light of the section 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the recency of Meza-Flores’s prior illegal reentry conviction and the concomitant need for enhanced deterrence, the sentence is substantively reasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); see also United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
