Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jose Hugo Mendoza appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the 36-month consecutive sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Mendoza contends that the district court erred by improperly basing the sentence on the need to punish him for the underlying offense and the court's belief that Mendoza's sentence for that offense was too low. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010), and hold there is none. The record reflects that the district court based its decision on only proper 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) sentencing factors, including the need for deterrence, Mendoza's repeated breaches of the court's trust, and the need to protect the public. See United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1062-63 (9th Cir. 2007). Moreover, Mendoza's sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the section 3583(e) factors and the totality of the circumstances, including his criminal history and prior violations of supervised release. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); see also United States v. Gutierrez-Sanchez, 587 F.3d 904, 908 (9th Cir. 2009) ("The weight to be given the various factors in a particular case is for the discretion of the district court.").
AFFIRMED.
