UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. JEREMIAH DANIEL HOP, 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NOT FOR PUBLICATION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 Eastern District of Washington
Robert H. Whaley, District Judge, Presiding
Before: RAWLINSON, N.R. SMITH, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.
Jeremiah Daniel Hop appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the seven-year 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). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Hop contends that his above-Guidelines sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Hop's sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). Hop's sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of circumstances, including the nature and circumstances of the offense, and the need to protect the public. See id.
AFFIRMED.
