United States v. Miguel Deloa

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Miguel Deloa, 598 F. App'x 499 (9th Cir. 2015)

United States v. Miguel Deloa

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Miguel Deloa appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 50-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found unlawfully in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Deloa contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his cultural assimilation and other mitigating factors. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Deloa’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The 50-month sentence, at the middle of the Guidelines range, is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Deloa’s criminal history and three prior deportations. See U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 cmt. n. 9; Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.

AFFIRMED.
