United States v. Enrique Rodriguez-Lopez
United States v. Enrique Rodriguez-Lopez
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Enrique Rodriguez-Lopez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 77-month custodial sentence and three-year term of supervised release imposed upon remand for resentencing. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
*550 Rodriguez-Lopez contends that the district court erred by (1) relying on the Guidelines sentencing range to the exclusion of other 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, (2) failing to explain adequately the sentence and address his sentencing arguments, and (3) failing to explain why a term of supervised release was warranted in light of U.S.S.G. § 5Dl.l(c). We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010), and find none. The record reflects that the court considered Rodriguez-Lopez’s mitigating arguments along with the other section 3553(a) sentencing factors and sufficiently explained the sentence, including the need for the supervised release term in light of his particular circumstances. See U.S.S.G. § 5Dl.l(c) cmt. n. 5.
Rodriguez-Lopez also contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Rodriguez-Lopez’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The low-end sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the section 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Rodriguez-Lopez’s criminal and immigration history. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.
AFFIRMED.
