MEMORANDUM *
VICKIE DIANE BECKER,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Montana
Richard F. Cebull, Chief District Judge, Presiding
Submitted October 19, 2010 **
Before: O’SCANNLAIN, TALLMAN, and BEA, Circuit Judges.
Vickie Diane Becker appeals from her 72-month sentence imposed
following her guilty-plea convictions for bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
§ 1344, and money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1957. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Becker contends that her sentence is substantively unreasonable because it
was greater than necessary to accomplish the purposes of sentencing when
considered in light of the significant mitigating factors she presented. The district
court did not procedurally err, and the sentence is substantively reasonable in light
of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and the totality of the circumstances. See Gall v.
United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007); see also United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d
984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
