jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Jimenez contends that the district court procedurally erred by basing his
sentence on internet research. This contention is belied by the record because the
court did not impose sentence on the basis of internet research. There was no plain
error.
Jimenez also contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. In
light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing
factors, the sentence is substantively reasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552
U.S. 38, 53-60 (2007).
AFFIRMED.
