Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Alejandro Garcia-Jacobo appeals the district court's 24-month sentence imposed for a violation of the terms of his supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Reviewing for plain error, Henderson v. United States, — U.S. -, 133 S.Ct. 1121, 1124-25, 185 L.Ed.2d 85 (2013), we affirm.
Garcia-Jacobo argues that the sentence imposed as a result of his violation of supervised release must be vacated in light of United States v. Aguilera-Rios, 769 F.3d 626 (9th Cir.2014), which was decided after he was sentenced, on the ground that his substantial rights were violated. Even assuming, without deciding, that Garcia-Jacobo can challenge a procedural error that occurred at a prior sentencing hearing, his claim nevertheless fails because he has not shown a reasonable probability that the district court would have imposed a lower sentence. First, there is no dispute that the district court imposed a sen tence that was within the correct sentencing guidelines range for a violation of the terms of supervised release. Second, while the district court did state that it "considered the underlying range for the underlying conviction," the court made it clear that it considered "the underlying conduct" of Garcia-Jacobo's prior offenses rather than their classification. Finally, the record demonstrates that the district court believed a sentence of 24 months, with no supervision to follow, was appropriate to deter further violations and address Garcia-Jacobo's breach of "the trust reposed in him by the supervision by coming back . five days later."
AFFIRMED.
