Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
In these consolidated appeals, Jose Guadalupe Vasquez-Corrales appeals from the 63-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326; and the eight-month consecutive sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
In Appeal No. 12-10498, Vasquez-Cor-rales contends that the district court procedurally erred by concluding that it could not impose a below-Guidelines sentence in the absence of a plea agreement. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir.2010), and find none. The district court stated that it was aware of its authority to impose a below-Guidelines sentence, but that it would not do so.
In Appeal No. 12-10509, Vasquez-Corrales contends that the district court improperly punished him for his underlying criminal conduct in imposing the revocation sentence. Contrary to the government's argument, the appeal waiver in the partes' agreement does not bar this claim because the district court advised Vasquez-Corrales without qualification at the sentencing hearing that he had the right to appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 987 (9th Cir.2009). Nevertheless, Vasquez-Corrales's claim fails. The district court did not plainly err because the record reflects that the district court properly sanctioned Vasquez-Corrales for his breach of the court's trust. See United States v. Miqbel, 444 F.3d 1173, 1176, 1182 (9th Cir.2006).
AFFIRMED.
