United States v. Sergio Rodriguez

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION DEC 12 2014 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 13-50641 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 2:12-cr-00988-DSF v. MEMORANDUM* SERGIO RODRIGUEZ, a.k.a. Sergio Iniguez Rodriguez, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Dale S. Fischer, District Judge, Presiding Submitted December 9, 2014** Before: WALLACE, LEAVY, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges. Sergio Rodriguez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 41-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being an illegal alien found in the United States after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. * 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). § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Rodriguez contends that the 41-month sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Rodriguez’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The sentence at the top of the advisory Guidelines range is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Rodriguez’s extensive criminal and immigration history. See id.; see also United States v. Gutierrez-Sanchez, 587 F.3d 904, 908 (9th Cir. 2009) (“The weight to be given the various factors in a particular case is for the discretion of the district court.”). AFFIRMED. 2 13-50641
