   MEMORANDUM

Megan Mariel Morrillo appeals from the 30-month sentence imposed following her guilty plea to assault resulting in serious bodily injury, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 113(a)(6) and 1153. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Morrillo contends the sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of her many compelling mitigating factors and the district court’s impermissibly narrow focus on the seriousness of the offense and the need for general deterrence. Morrillo’s sentence at the low end of the Guidelines range is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992-93 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc); see also United States v. Gutierrez-Sanchez, 587 F.3d 904, 908 (9th Cir.2009) (“The weight to be given the various [section 3553(a) sentencing] factors in a particular case is for the discretion of the district court.”).

AFFIRMED.
