Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
In these consolidated appeals, Gerardo Sandoval-Marchen appeals from the 18-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for bringing illegal aliens into the United States and aiding and abetting in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(l)(A)(i), (v)(II), and from the revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Sandoval-Marchen contends that the district court erred at sentencing by failing to adequately consider the relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. He specifically argues that the court did not consider his mitigating personal history and characteristics, such as his family circumstances, and any sentencing disparities resulting from his alien status. We conclude that the district court did not procedurally err and that the sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc), cert. denied sub nom. Zavala v. United States, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 2491, 171 L.Ed.2d 780 (2008).
Sandoval-Marchen also contends that the statute governing supervised release, 18 U.S.C. § 3583, is unconstitutional. His claim is foreclosed by United States v. Santana, 526 F.3d 1257, 1262 (9th Cir. 2008).
AFFIRMED.
