MEMORANDUM*
KEYNAN STROUD NEWSHAM,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Washington
James L. Robart, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted February 24, 2016**
Before: LEAVY, FERNANDEZ, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
Keynan Stroud Newsham appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges the 14-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release.
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).
Newsham contends that the district court erred by failing to explain its
sentence adequately. We review for plain error. See United States v. Valencia-
Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010). The record reflects that the
court’s explanation of its above-Guidelines sentence was adequate. See United
States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
Newsham additionally contends that his above-Guidelines sentence is
substantively unreasonable. We review for abuse of discretion. See Gall v. United
States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The 14-month sentence is substantively reasonable
in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) sentencing factors and the totality of the
circumstances, including Newsham’s history of consistently violating the
conditions of his supervised release. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
