United States v. Jose Gonzalez
Opinion
facts in the record.’” Grant, 727 F.3d at 933 (quoting United States v. Maier, 646
F.3d 1148, 1156 (9th Cir. 2011)).
Viewing the totality of the circumstances, which involved law enforcement’s
post-deportation discovery of Gonzalez living in this country in a home with a
loaded semi-automatic rifle, and a large quantity of stolen goods in his garage, the
district court’s imposition of a twenty-four-month sentence, which was more than
the six- to twelve-month Guidelines range but less than the thirty-three months
sought by the government, and within the sixty-month statutory range, was not
substantively unreasonable. Recognizing the district court’s “superior position to
find facts and judge their import under § 3553(a),” Gall, 552 U.S. at 51 (citation
omitted), the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a twenty-four-
month sentence upon revocation of Gonzalez’s supervised release.
AFFIRMED.
