   MEMORANDUM

Mark Eugene Bachteler appeals from the 68-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for distribution of methamphetamine/use of a juvenile, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 and 861. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Bachteler contends that the district court erred at sentencing by failing to adequately consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and by failing to provide a reasoned explanation for his sentence. He also contends that his sentence is unreasonable in light of his mitigating circumstances. The record indicates that the district court did not procedurally err and that Bachteler’s sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.
