and we affirm.
Morrillo contends the sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of her
many compelling mitigating factors and the district court’s impermissibly narrow
focus on the seriousness of the offense and the need for general deterrence.
Morrillo’s sentence at the low end of the Guidelines range is substantively
reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the sentencing factors
set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992-93
(9th Cir. 2008) (en banc); see also United States v. Gutierrez-Sanchez, 587 F.3d
904, 908 (9th Cir. 2009) (“The weight to be given the various [section 3553(a)
sentencing] factors in a particular case is for the discretion of the district court.”).
AFFIRMED.
