MEMORANDUM *
SHANE KENNETH BRIZENDINE,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Idaho
Edward J. Lodge, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted July 24, 2013 **
Before: ALARCÓN, CLIFTON, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
Shane Kenneth Brizendine appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges the 140-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction
for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C.
§§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and 846; and the 24-month, partially concurrent sentence

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28
U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Brizendine contends that his 152-month aggregate sentence is substantively
unreasonable. He argues that the court should have imposed an aggregate sentence
of no more than 140 months. The district court did not abuse its discretion in
imposing Brizendine’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).
Brizendine’s 140-month sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances. See id.
Moreover, the court did not abuse its discretion by ordering that 12 months of the
revocation sentence be served consecutively to the 140-month sentence. See
U.S.S.G. § 7B1.3(f).
Brizendine’s motion to dismiss counsel and appoint new counsel received on
June 26, 2013, is deemed filed and denied.
AFFIRMED.
