Perez-Romero contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in
light of the mitigating circumstances in this case. The district court did not abuse
its discretion in imposing Perez-Romero’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552
U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including
the amount of methamphetamine involved in the offense. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
