U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 23-1304

D.C. No. 5:17-cr-00120-AB-2

Plaintiff - Appellee, v. MEMORANDUM* JESSE REGALADO, AKA Chewy,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Central District of California

André Birotte Jr., District Judge, Presiding

Submitted February 21, 2024** Before: FERNANDEZ, NGUYEN, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.

Jesse Regalado appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 20-month sentence imposed upon the revocation of his supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Regalado claims that the district court procedurally erred by basing the

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). sentence on future, anticipated supervised release violations. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010), and conclude that there is none. The record demonstrates that the district court properly based the sentence on Regalado’s personal characteristics, breach of the court’s trust, and criminal history. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e); United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc) (reasons for the sentence may be inferred from the record as a whole); United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1062 (9th Cir. 2007) (primary purpose of revocation sentence is to sanction the defendant’s breach of the court’s trust). The court’s comments about how Regalado might perform should he remain on supervised release were made in response to Regalado’s sentencing arguments and his request that the district court terminate supervision.

Regalado also contends that the above-Guidelines sentence is substantively unreasonable. In light of the § 3583(e) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, however, the district court did not abuse its discretion. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
