UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. MIGUEL DELOA, Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 2:13-cr-00347-LDG MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada
Lloyd D. George, District Judge, Presiding
Before: FARRIS, WARDLAW, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Miguel Deloa appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the 50-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found unlawfully in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Deloa contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his cultural assimilation and other mitigating factors. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Deloa's sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The 50-month sentence, at the middle of the Guidelines range, is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Deloa's criminal history and three prior deportations. See U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 cmt. n.9; Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
