Villamor contends that, in light of his mental health problems, the district
court should not have imposed an above-Guidelines sentence of 60 months. We
review the sentence for substantive reasonableness, applying an abuse of discretion
standard. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007); United States v.
Mohamed, 459 F.3d 979, 987 (9th Cir. 2006). The sentence is substantively
reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)
factors, including Villamor’s extensive criminal history and the need to protect the
public and promote respect for the law. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
