U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Ramos-Lopez contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable
because the district court gave undue weight to his stale drug trafficking and
robbery convictions, and failed to give sufficient weight to his history and
characteristics, including his drug addiction. He also argues that the sentence is
longer than necessary to afford adequate deterrence and to protect the public. The
district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Ramos-Lopez’s sentence.
See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The 87-month sentence in the
middle of the Guidelines range is substantively reasonable in light the 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including
Ramos-Lopez’s criminal and immigration history. See id.
AFFIRMED.
