United States v. Carlos Lobo

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Carlos Lobo, 709 F. App'x 496 (9th Cir. 2018)

United States v. Carlos Lobo

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Carlos U. Lobo appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 12-month consecutive sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Lobo contends that the district court procedurally erred by falling to explain adequately why it rejected his mitigating arguments. The district court did not plainly err. See United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010). The record reflects that the district court considered Lobo’s mitigating arguments, but concluded that a consecutive sentence was warranted in light of the need to sanction Lobo’s breach of the district court’s trust and Lobo’s history and characteristics. This explanation was sufficient. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en bane). Moreover, Lobo has not shown a reasonable probability that the sentence would have been different if the district court had provided further explanation. See United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 762 (9th Cir. 2008).

AFFIRMED.
