United States v. Adalberto Rivera

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Adalberto Rivera appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 30-month term of supervised release imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Rivera contends that the district court’s imposition of the maximum term of supervised release is illogical, punitive, and substantively unreasonable given the court’s belief that Rivera is not amenable to supervision. We review for abuse of discretion, see United States v. Collins, 684 F.3d 873, 887 (9th Cir. 2012), and find none. The record belies Rivera’s contention that the district court determined he is not amenable to supervision. Moreover, the 30-month term of supervised release is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) factors and the totality of the circumstances. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); United States v. Hurt, 345 F.3d 1033, 1036 (9th Cir. 2003) (“A violation of the conditions of supervised release does not obviate the need for further supervision, but rather confirms the judgment that supervision was necessary.”).

AFFIRMED.
