UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. CYBH, JUVENILE MALE, Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Montana
Sam E. Haddon, District Judge, Presiding
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.
Appellant, a juvenile, appeals from the sentence imposed following his true-plea to an act of juvenile delinquency, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 5037. Appellant was sentenced to official detention until his nineteenth birthday followed by 12 months of juvenile delinquent supervision. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Appellant contends that the district court's sentence contravenes the rehabilitative purposes of the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act, 18 U.S.C. § 5031 et. seq., and that detention was not the least restrictive means of achieving these purposes. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in fashioning the sentence. See United States v. Doe, 149 F.3d 945, 950-51 (9th Cir. 1998); see also United States v. Juvenile, 347 F.3d 778, 787-88 (9th Cir. 2003).
AFFIRMED.
