CARLOS ESTRELLA CAMBRANIS, a.k.a.                MEMORANDUM*
Carlos Estrella, a.k.a. Carlos Estrella-
Cambranis,

                Defendant-Appellant.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Northern District of California
                    Jeffrey S. White, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted April 11, 2018**

Before:      SILVERMAN, PAEZ, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.

      In these consolidated appeals, Carlos Estrella Cambranis appeals the 50-

month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry

following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326, and the 12-month

consecutive sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

      Cambranis contends that the 62-month sentence is substantively

unreasonable because his mitigating arguments concerning his history and

background, his reasons for returning to the United States, and his law-abiding

behavior after his return warranted a lower sentence. The district court did not

abuse its discretion. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The

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

sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the need to deter.

See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.

      Moreover, the court properly exercised its discretion to impose consecutive

terms in light of Cambranis’s breach of the court’s trust. See U.S.S.G. § 7B1.3(f);

United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1063 (9th Cir. 2007).

      AFFIRMED.
