                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Arizona
                     Frank R. Zapata, District Judge, Presiding

                            San Francisco, California

Before: HUG, SKOPIL and BEEZER, Circuit Judges.

       Alfred Vincent Havier appeals from the district court’s sentence of 63

months imprisonment following his plea of guilty to charges of sexually abusing a

minor. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review the district

court’s sentencing procedure for plain error. United States v. Autery, 555 F.3d

864, 868–70 (9th Cir. 2008). We review the reasonableness of the district court’s

sentence for abuse of discretion. Id. at 870–71.

      The facts of this case are known to the parties. We do not repeat them.

      “Whether sound discretion has been exercised must be answered in each

case through a thorough review of the record.” United States v. Barker, 771 F.2d

1362, 1366 (9th Cir. 1985). After reviewing the record in full, we determine that

the district court exercised sound discretion in this case. The district court did not

plainly err, nor did it abuse its discretion in declining to credit Havier with time

served in tribal custody.

      AFFIRMED.
