Becker contends that her sentence is substantively unreasonable because it
was greater than necessary to accomplish the purposes of sentencing when
considered in light of the significant mitigating factors she presented. The district
court did not procedurally err, and the sentence is substantively reasonable in light
of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and the totality of the circumstances. See Gall v.
United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007); see also United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d
984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
