The government argues that Bravo-Cuevas waived this argument by failing1
to raise it in his prior appeal. We need not resolve this issue because Bravo-
Cuevas’ claim fails on the merits.

Before: D.W. NELSON, RAWLINSON, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges.
Appellant David Bravo-Cuevas appeals the district court’s revocation of his
supervised release and the sentences the district court imposed for violation of his
supervised release conditions, and following his conviction for illegal reentry.
Contrary to Bravo-Cuevas’ argument, the twenty-seven month term of1
supervised release he received in 2009 was validly imposed. See United States v.
Cade, 236 F.3d 463, 466 (9th Cir. 2000) (“As provided by [18 U.S.C.] §
3583(e)(3), a defendant is not entitled to credit against the revocation sentence for
time served on supervised release before revocation . . . .”).
The district court did not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause by imposing a
77-month sentence for Bravo-Cuevas’ new violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 as well as
a consecutive 6-month sentence for violation of his supervised release conditions,
despite the fact that both violations resulted from the same conduct. See United
States v. Soto-Olivas, 44 F.3d 788, 790-91 (9th Cir. 1995). The transcript of the

sentencing hearing indicates that the district court appropriately imposed the 6-
month sentence as a sanction for Bravo-Cuevas’ breach of trust, and not “solely, or
even primarily based on the severity of the new criminal offense underlying the
revocation . . .” United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1063 (9th Cir. 2007)
(citation omitted) (emphasis added); see also United States v. Hammons, 558 F.3d
1100, 1104 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
