We conclude that the district court did not err in sentencing Taylor to consecutive terms of custody. See United States v. Jackson, 176 F.3d 1175, 1176-78 (9th Cir.1999) (per curiam) (holding that the district court has discretion to impose consecutive sentences of imprisonment on revocation of concurrent sentences of supervised release). Moreover, the 42-month sentence imposed by the district court does not conflict with the 24-month ceiling for Class C felonies spelled out in 18 U.S.C. § 3583 (e)(3).

See, e.g., United States v. Cervantes-Valenzuela, 931 F.2d 27, 29 (9th Cir.1991) (per curiam) (“Simply because the court in this case chose to mention one particularly important factor does not mean that it failed to consider the others or that the sentence was imposed in violation of law.”); Jackson, 176 F.3d at 1178-79…
