United States v. Juan Gallegos-Lopez

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Juan Gallegos-Lopez, 678 F. App'x 598 (9th Cir. 2017)

United States v. Juan Gallegos-Lopez

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Juan Jose Gallegos-Lopez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 24-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Gallegos-Lopez contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his cultural assimilation and other mitigating factors, as well as the then-proposed amendments to the illegal reentry guidelines. The court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Gallegos-Lopez’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The below-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Gallegos-Lopez’s criminal history. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.

AFFIRMED.
