MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Carlos Cervantes-Cazares appeals his sentence and several aspects of his supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

The sentence imposed by the district court was neither procedurally erroneous nor substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir. 2008) ("[O]nly a procedurally erroneous or substantively unreasonable sentence will be set aside."). Under the totality of the circumstances, the weight given by the district court to the various 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors was not an abuse of discretion. See id. ("The abuse of discretion standard applies to all sentencing decisions. . . .").

The district court did not plainly err when it allowed the probation officer to determine Cervantes-Cazares' share of the treatment costs. See United States v. Dupas, 419 F.3d 916, 922-24 (9th Cir. 2005). Finally, the district court did not violate Cervantes-Cazares' Fifth Amendment rights when it imposed the reporting requirement. See United States v. Rodriguez-Rodriguez 441 F.3d 767, 772-73 (9th Cir. 2006).

AFFIRMED.
