   MEMORANDUM

Ricco Lee Brown appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 55-month term of supervised released imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Brown contends that the district court imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence because the new supervised release term is greater than necessary to satisfy the goals of sentencing. He argues that the 55-month term is punitive and does not serve the purpose of rehabilitation. We review for abuse of discretion, see United States v. Collins, 684 F.3d 873, 887 (9th Cir.2012), and find none. The supervised release term is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Brown’s repeated breaches of the court’s trust. See United States v. Miqbel, 444 F.3d 1173, 1182 (9th Cir.2006) (at a revocation sentencing, the court may sanction the violator for his breach of the court’s trust).

AFFIRMED.
