possession of a firearm and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). We
have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Gatlin contends that the district court gave undue weight to his extended
criminal history and to additional conduct described in the presentence report
(“PSR”), and that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court’s
consideration of conduct described in the PSR was not improper, see United States
v. Columbus, 881 F.2d 785, 787 (9th Cir. 1989), and the sentence is reasonable in
light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing
factors. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007); United States v.
Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108-09 (9th Cir. 2010).
AFFIRMED.
