Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Paul Baker appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the aggregate 135-month sentence imposed following his jury-trial convictions for conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and offer and sale of unregistered securities, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371; mail fraud securities, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341; wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343; offer and sale of unregistered securities and aiding and abetting and causing an act to be done, in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 77e and 77x and 18 U.S.C. § 2. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Baker contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to address his request for a downward departure for mental and emotional conditions and physical condition under U.S.S.G. § 5H1.3 and 5H1.4. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010), and conclude that there was none. The record reflects that the court considered Baker's arguments and sufficiently explained its reasons for concluding that a mid-range sentence was warranted. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
