United States v. Efrain Guzman-Castro

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Efrain Guzman-Castro appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 96-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea convictions for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and distributing methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Guzman-Castro contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of the mitigating circumstances in this case. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Guzman-Castro’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The mid-range sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and the totality of the circumstances. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.

AFFIRMED.
