UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jose De Jesus SERRANO, Defendant-Appellant, 195 F. App'x 551

MEMORANDUM Jose de Jesus Serrano appeals from the district court’s judgment and 57-month sentence imposed following a guilty-plea conviction for one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, and three counts of possession with intent to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Serrano contends that the district court’s imposition of a 57-month sentence was unreasonable under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005).

A sentence is reasonable when the district court properly calculates the guidelines range and considers the sentencing factors contained in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). United States v. Marcial-Santiago, 447 F.3d 715, 717 (9th Cir.2006). Here, the district court properly calculated the guidelines range because, contrary to Serrano’s contention, the court did not clearly err in refusing to make a two-level “minor participant” adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2(b). See United States v.

Cantrell, 433 F.3d 1269 (9th Cir.2006) (“[A] minimal or minor participant adjustment under § 3B1.2 is available only if the defendant was ‘substantially’ less culpable than his or her co-participants.”). The district court also properly considered the § 3553(

a) sentencing factors. See United States v. Plouffe, 445 F.3d 1126, 1131 (9th Cir.2006) (amended) (holding that sentence is reasonable when the district court properly addresses sentencing factors of § 3553(a)), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 126 S.Ct. 2314, 164 L.Ed.2d 832 (2006); see also United States v. Mix, 450 F.3d 375, 381 (9th Cir.2006) (amended) (“A district court is not required to refer to each factor listed in § 3553(a).”). Serrano makes three further contentions, all of which are foreclosed by our previous decisions. See United States v.

Dupas, 419 F.3d 916, 919-924 (9th Cir. 2005) (holding that retroactive application of post-Booker remedial scheme does not violate ex post facto principles and that delegating authority to probation officer to assess drug treatment costs is not plain error), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 126 S.Ct. 1484, 164 L.Ed.2d 261 (2006); United States v. Rodriguez-Rodriguez, 441 F.3d 767, 773 (9th Cir.2006) (holding that imposing supervised release condition that defendant report to his probation officer upon re-entry into the United States is not plain error). AFFIRMED.
