   MEMORANDUM

Michael Joseph Delacruz appeals from the 120-month sentence imposed following his jury-trial conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Delacruz contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing adequately to explain the sentence and by relying on clearly erroneous facts. The district court did not procedurally err. The district court accurately described Delacruz’s criminal history, considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, and sufficiently explained the sentence imposed. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc).

Delacruz also contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The sentence imposed is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the section 3553(a) sentencing factors. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
