Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Elvis Davis appeals from the 42-month supervised release term imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Davis contends that the district court violated 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) and the Guidelines policy statements by imposing the sentence for punitive purposes, and by placing undue weight on his criminal history. Contrary to Davis's contention, he had an opportunity to assert these objections in the district court and failed to do so. Our review, therefore, is for plain error, see United, States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir.2010), and we find none.
The record reflects that the district court did not impose sentence on the basis of the contested revocation allegation. Although the court did consider Davis's original crime, it did so in the context of the section 3583(e) sentencing factors, and did not impose sentence for punitive purposes. See United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1062 (9th Cir.2007) (at a revocation sentencing, district court may consider the criminal history of the violator because section 3583(e) specifically directs courts to consider the history and characteristics of the defendant). Finally, the record does not support Davis's contention that the court placed undue weight on his criminal history in imposing the 42-month supervised release term.
AFFIRMED.
