Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Rodney Royce Miller appeals from the 35-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Miller contends that the district court erred at sentencing by failing to adequately explain the sentence. He further contends that his sentence within the Guidelines range is substantively unreasonable in light of the nature of the offense and his history and characteristics. The district court did not procedurally err at sentencing. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993, 995-96 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc). Moreover, the sentence is not substantively unreasonable. See Carty, 520 F.3d at 996; United States v. Nichols, 464 F.3d 1117, 1125-26 (9th Cir.2006).
AFFIRMED.
