UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. JAMES ROBERT SORRELL, Defendant - Appellant.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

D.C. No. 2:11-cr-00058-RHW MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington
Robert H. Whaley, District Judge, Presiding
Before: HAWKINS, GRABER, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

James Robert Sorrell appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the 18-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Sorrell contends that the district court erred by relying on impermissible sentencing factors and by failing to explain adequately the sentence imposed. We review for plain error, see United States v. Miqbel, 444 F.3d 1173, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), and find none. The record reflects that the district court considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) sentencing factors, did not consider impermissible sentencing factors, and sufficiently explained its reasons for imposing the above-Guidelines sentence. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.
