month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Loaiza-Parra argues that the sentences are substantively unreasonable in
light of his difficult history and circumstances, and other mitigating factors. The
district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Loaiza-Parra’s sentences. See
Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The within-Guidelines sentences are
substantively reasonable in light of the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing
factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Loaiza-Parra’s extensive
criminal and immigration history. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51; United States v.
Gutierrez-Sanchez, 587 F.3d 904, 908 (9th Cir. 2009) (“The weight to be given the
various factors in a particular case is for the discretion of the district court.”).
AFFIRMED.
