   MEMORANDUM

Jason Alexander Shimada appeals from the 63-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea convictions for armed bank robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a), (d). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Shimada contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because he lacked any “serious” criminal history and voluntarily ceased his criminal activities before his arrest. The record reflects that the 63-month sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 56-57, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007) (recognizing deference owed to the district court’s reasoned and reasonable decision to grant downward variance).

AFFIRMED.
