Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Blanca L. Avila-Resendiz appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the 84-month concurrent sentences and 5-year concurrent terms of supervised release imposed following her guilty-plea convictions for importation of methamphetamine and importation of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 952 and 960. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we reverse.
Avila-Resendiz contends that the district court misinterpreted the amended minor role Guideline, U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2, and relied on superseded precedent to deny the minor role adjustment. To the contrary, the record reflects that the court properly considered and applied all of the factors enumerated in the amended commentary to the minor role Guideline. See U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 cmt. n.3(C); United States v. Quintero-Leyva, 823 F.3d 519, 523 (9th Cir. 2016). Moreover, Avila-Resendiz has not shown that the district court relied on United States v. Hurtado, 760 F.3d 1065 (9th Cir. 2014), or our precedent more generally, in a manner that is inconsistent with the amended minor role Guideline. See Quintero-Leyva, 823 F.3d at 523 (because the factors listed in the amended Guideline are non-exhaustive, the court "may also, consider other reasons for granting or denying a minor role reduction"). Therefore, the district court did not err in imposing the custodial sentence.
Avila-Resendiz also contends that the district court plainly erred by imposing a five-year term of supervised release. The district court erroneously stated the statutory term for supervised release as "three [years] up to life." See U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2 cmt. n.9 (if defendant is safety valve eligible, she is exempt from the statutory minimum term of supervised release). Accordingly, we reverse the district court's judgment and remand for re-sentencing as to the supervised release term. See United States v. Munoz-Camarena, 631 F.3d 1028, 1030-31 (9th Cir. 2011).
REVERSED.
