United States v. Jaime Lopez-Hernandez

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUN 20 2011 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 10-30257 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 1:10-cr-00073-RFC v. MEMORANDUM * JAIME LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Montana Richard F. Cebull, Chief District Judge, Presiding Submitted June 15, 2011 ** Before: CANBY, O’SCANNLAIN, and FISHER, Circuit Judges. Jaime Lopez-Hernandez appeals from the 24-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal re-entry of deported alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). 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). Lopez-Hernandez contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because the district court imposed a sentence that was 17 months above the top end of the Guidelines range. In light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, including promoting respect for the law and deterring future criminal conduct, the sentence is not substantively unreasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). AFFIRMED. 2 10-30257
