Jackson contends that the district court erred by failing to meaningfully
consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, basing its sentence on
inferences not supported by the record, and failing to meaningfully consider and
address Jackson’s individual circumstances or his argument that his criminal
history is overrepresented. The court did not procedurally err, United States v.
Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc), and Jackson’s within-
Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the section 3553(a)
sentencing factors and totality of the circumstances, including Jackson’s criminal
and substance abuse history and the seriousness of the instant offense. See Gall v.
United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).
AFFIRMED.
