United States v. Leon Muhammad

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Leon Muhammad appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 24-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Muhammad contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of the allegedly minor nature of his violations. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Muhammad’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). Even accepting Muhammad’s characterization of his violations as minor, the 24-month sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Muhammad’s criminal history and breach of the court’s trust. See United States v. Miqbel, 444 F.3d 1173, 1182 (9th Cir. 2006) (at a revocation sentencing, the court may sanction a violator for his breach of the court’s trust).

AFFIRMED.
