substantively unreasonable because it is significantly above his Guidelines range
and his violations were driven by his drug addiction. The district court did not
abuse its discretion. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The
sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)
sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Mathias’s
repeated poor performance on supervision and the need to protect the public. See
18 U.S.C. § 3583(e); see also 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.
