Submitted April 11, 2017**
Before: GOULD, CLIFTON, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
Gosada Munoz challenges the 60-month sentence imposed upon remand
following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of firearms and
ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28
U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Munoz contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to
consider and respond to his mitigating arguments and explain the sentence. We
review for plain error. See United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103,
1108 (9th Cir. 2010). The record reflects that the district court listened to Munoz’s
arguments and explained that it had reviewed the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors in
imposing the below-Guidelines sentence. The court’s failure to do more was not
plain error. See id.
AFFIRMED.
** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without
oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
