Camacho-Amador contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable
because he is a young, first-time offender who committed the offense to support
his family. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Camacho-
Amador’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The
sentence 120 months below the bottom of the Guidelines range is substantively
reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)
sentencing factors. See id.
AFFIRMED.
