Bojorquez-Alvarez contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable
in light of the fact that, at the time of sentencing, he had already served an 18-
month sentence for the immigration offense that triggered his revocation. The
district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Bojorquez-Alvarez’s
sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The 12-month
sentence is substantively reasonable in light of Bojorquez-Alvarez’s failure to be
deterred and breach of the court’s trust. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e); United States v.
Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1062-63 (9th Cir. 2007).
AFFIRMED.
