NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUL 17 2017 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 16-30104 Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 3:12-cr-00373-HZ v. MEMORANDUM* SAMUEL NAVARRETTE-AGUILAR, a.k.a. Guayabo, Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon Marco A. Hernandez, District Judge, Presiding Submitted July 11, 2017** Before: CANBY, KOZINSKI, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges. Samuel Navarrette-Aguilar appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 168-month concurrent sentences imposed upon remand for resentencing following his convictions for heroin trafficking conspiracy, distribution of heroin, and possession with intent to distribute heroin, in violation * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and 18 U.S.C. § 2. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Navarrette-Aguilar contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Navarrette-Aguilar’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The within-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Navarrette-Aguilar’s criminal history and the nature of the offense. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51; see also United States v. Carter, 560 F.3d 1107, 1121 (9th Cir. 2009) (sentencing disparities are not unwarranted where defendant and his co-conspirators are not similarly situated). AFFIRMED. 2 16-30104
