 v.
                                                 MEMORANDUM*
SAMUEL NAVARRETTE-AGUILAR,
a.k.a. Guayabo,

                Defendant-Appellant.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Oregon
                   Marco A. Hernandez, District Judge, Presiding

                              Submitted July 11, 2017**

Before:      CANBY, KOZINSKI, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.

      Samuel Navarrette-Aguilar appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges the 168-month concurrent sentences imposed upon remand for

resentencing following his convictions for heroin trafficking conspiracy,

distribution of heroin, and possession with intent to distribute heroin, in violation

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and 18 U.S.C. § 2. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1291, and we affirm.

      Navarrette-Aguilar contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable.

The court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Navarrette-Aguilar’s sentence.

See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The within-Guidelines sentence

is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors

and the totality of the circumstances, including Navarrette-Aguilar’s criminal

history and the nature of the offense. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51; see also United

States v. Carter, 560 F.3d 1107, 1121 (9th Cir. 2009) (sentencing disparities are

not unwarranted where defendant and his co-conspirators are not similarly

situated).

      AFFIRMED.
