United States v. Darek Gordon
Opinion
NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS AUG 20 2018 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 17-30253 Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 3:17-cr-00055-SLG v. MEMORANDUM* DAREK MICHAEL GORDON, Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Alaska Sharon L. Gleason, District Judge, Presiding Submitted August 15, 2018** Before: FARRIS, BYBEE, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Darek Michael Gordon appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 60-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Gordon contends that his above-Guidelines sentence is substantively unreasonable and not justified by any reasonable consideration of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Gordon’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).
The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the section 3553(a) factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Gordon’s extensive criminal history.
See id. AFFIRMED.
