   MEMORANDUM

Arnulfo Ricardo Martinez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 24-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Martinez contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to explain the sentence adequately in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and his mitigating arguments. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir.2010), and find none. The record reflects that the district court considered Martinez’s mitigating arguments and the relevant sentencing factors but determined that a low-end, consecutive sentence was warranted because Martinez violated supervised release by committing another drug offense. See United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1062-63 (9th Cir.2007).

Martinez also contends that the district court imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Martinez’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the section 3583(e) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Martinez’s breach of the court’s trust. See U.S.S.G. § 7B1.3(f); Simtob, 485 F.3d at 1063.

AFFIRMED.
