§ 1291, and we affirm.
Robinson contends that the district court erred by failing to depart under
various Guidelines sections. He also argues that the district court should have
varied downward in light of the circumstances surrounding his escape and eventual
self-surrender. Our review of a district court’s decision not to depart or vary from
the advisory Guidelines range is limited to determining whether the court imposed
a substantively reasonable sentence. See United States v. Ellis, 641 F.3d 411, 421-
22 (9th Cir. 2011). The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing
Robinson’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The
sentence at the bottom of the advisory Guidelines range is substantively reasonable
in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the
circumstances, including Robinson’s criminal history and the fact that his self-
surrender occurred over one year after his escape. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
