________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida

________________________ (October 4, 2019) Before MARCUS , WILLIAM PRYOR and GRANT , Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

Case: 19-10328 Date Filed: 10/04/2019 Page: 1 of 32 Ivory Charles Brinson, a federal prisoner, appeals his sentence of 27 months of imprisonment and supervised release for l ife following the third revocation of his supervised release. Brinson argues that his sentence is procedurally and substantively unreasonable. We affirm. Brinson’s sentence is procedurally reasonable. The district court correctly calculated that Brinson h a d an advisory guidelines range of 21 to 27 months of imprisonment for violating four conditions of his supervised release. Brinson argues that the district court ignored his request for a sentence at the low end of his sentencing range based on his health and age, but t he district court “carefully considered the statements of all partie s ” in fashion ing an appropriate sentence

. T he district court also provided a reasoned basis for its decision to sentence Brinson at the high end of his sentencing range and to reimpose a term of supervised release for life

. See United States v. Dorman , 488 F.3d 936, 944 (11th Cir. 2007). Th e district court stated that i ts sentence was base d on “the information contained in the violation report” and Brinson’s history of having violated the terms of his supervised release less than six months after receiving a grant of executive clemency and of reoffend ing a few months aft er serving an additional 14 months in prison. Brinson’s sentence also is substantively reasonable. While on supervised release, Brinson tested positive four times for using marijuana. After his fourth

Case: 19-10328 Date Filed: 10/04/2019 Page: 2 of 33 violation, he served a term of imprisonment , which fail ed to deter him from unlawfully possessing and using marijuana on f our more occasions, submitting a urine specimen that tested positive for cocaine, and using cocaine and possess ing drug paraphernalia while associating with drug dealers. Brinson even viola ted the law while on bond by using marijuana after leaving an inpatient drug facility on the false pretense of seek ing treatment f o r heart issue s . The district court reasonably determined that a within

- guidelines sentence of 27 months of imprisonment followed by a life term of supervised release was required to punish Brinson for his refusal to comply with and disrespect for the law, to deter future similar crimes, and to provide treatment for his drug and alcohol a ddictions

. See 18
U

. S.C. § 3553 ; United States v. Brinson , 693 F. App’x 858, 859 (11th Cir. 2017) (affirming supervised release for life following first revocation)

. A nd t he decision
to weigh heavily Brinson’s criminal history was “ entirely consistent wit h § 3553(a) because five of the factors it requires a court to consider are related to criminal history.” United States v. Rosales

- Bruno , 789 F.3d 1249, 1263 (11th Cir. 2015). The district court did not abuse its discretion.
We AFFIRM Brinson’s sentence. Case: 19-10328 Date Filed: 10/04/2019 Page: 3 of 3
