Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Montana
Sam E. Haddon, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted December 19, 2011 **
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.
Appellant, a juvenile, appeals from the sentence imposed following his
true-plea to an act of juvenile delinquency, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 5037.
Appellant was sentenced to official detention until his nineteenth birthday followed
by 12 months of juvenile delinquent supervision. We have jurisdiction

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. Appellant. P. 34(a)(2).
under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Appellant contends that the district court’s sentence contravenes the
rehabilitative purposes of the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act, 18 U.S.C. § 5031
et. seq., and that detention was not the least restrictive means of achieving these
purposes. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in
fashioning the sentence. See United States v. Doe, 149 F.3d 945, 950-51 (9th Cir.
1998); see also United States v. Juvenile, 347 F.3d 778, 787-88 (9th Cir. 2003).
AFFIRMED.
