UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. WILLIAM LAMBERT, Jr., a.k.a. Duta, 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NOT FOR PUBLICATION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
Jack D. Shanstrom, District Judge, Presiding
Before: WARDLAW, CLIFTON, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
William Lambert, Jr., appeals from the 24-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Lambert contends that the district court erred under United States v. Grant, 664 F.3d 276 (9th Cir. 2011), when it imposed a term of imprisonment for the purpose of rehabilitation. The record reflects that the court did not impose a custodial sentence to promote Lambert's rehabilitation. Moreover, given Lambert's significant breach of trust, reflected by the fact that he violated conditions of his supervised release within weeks of being released, the sentence is substantively reasonable. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e); United States v. Miqbel, 444 F.3d 1173, 1182 (9th Cir. 2006) (at a revocation sentencing, a district court may sanction the defendant for his breach of trust).
AFFIRMED.
