UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Francisco Javier RODRIGUEZ, aka Javier LNU, Defendant-Appellant, 357 F. App'x 54

MEMORANDUM Francisco Javier Rodriguez appeals the district court’s imposition of a 168-month sentence and $625,000 fine for violations of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A), and 846. This court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm. The district court’s determination that Rodriguez had not accepted responsibility, and therefore did not qualify for a three-level deduction in offense level, was not clearly erroneous because of Rodriguez’s intervening drug-trafficking conduct. See United States v. Cooper, 912 F.2d 344, 346 (9th Cir.1990). Moreover, the total sentence imposed was reasonable under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(

a) because the district court relied on multiple factors, including Rodriguez’s comparatively greater role in the drug conspiracy and the inability of the sentencing guidelines to capture the totality of Rodriguez’s drug-trafficking conduct. United States v. Saeteurn, 504 F.3d 1175, 1181 (9th Cir.2007). The district court’s imposition of a $625,000 fine was reasonable given the financial information the district court had before it. United States v. Orlando, 553 F.3d 1235, 1239 (9th Cir.2009).

Finally, the government’s sentencing position was not plainly erroneous because the government’s obligations under the plea agreement were not triggered unless Rodriguez accepted responsibility. See United States v. Maldonado, 215 F.3d 1046, 1051 (9th Cir.2000). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
