Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Dale S. Fischer, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. 2:08-cr-00269-DSF.
Before: B. FLETCHER, LEAVY, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Joshua Joseph Tyler appeals from the lifetime term of supervised release imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for possession of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(5)(B). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Tyler contends that the district court violated Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32(i)(3)(B) by failing to resolve the issue of whether he was likely to reoffend after fifteen years of supervision and by failing to determine which psychological study regarding recidivism was most accurate. Because these issues do not involve factual inaccuracies, the district court did not err by failing to rule on the disputes. See United States v. Stoterau, 524 F.3d 988, 1011-12 (9th Cir. 2008).
Tyler also contends that the lifetime term of supervised release is substantively unreasonable. In light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, Tyler's lifetime term of supervised release is not substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Daniels, 541 F.3d 915, 922-24 (9th Cir. 2008).
