UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Raul MORENO, Defendant-Appellant, 702 F. App'x 523

MEMORANDUM Raul Moreno appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Moreno argues that the district court erred by failing to consider all of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(

a) sentencing factors. He also contends that the court failed to consider his argument that he was entitled to a sentence reduction because the only fact that had changed since his original sentencing was a reduction in his allegedly overinflated Guidelines range. The record reflects that the court acknowledged the reduced Guidelines range and Moreno’s eligibility for a reduction before discussing several of the

section 3553(

a) factors and its reasons for denying the reduction in light of those factors. On this record, we conclude that the court considered the

section 3553(

a) factors and adequately explained the sentence. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc) (describing what constitutes an adequate explanation and stating that “[t]he district court need not tick off each of the § 3553(

a) factors to show that it has considered them”). Moreno also contends that his 168-month sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his post-sentencing rehabilitation and other mitigating factors. The district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce Moreno’s sentence. See United States v. Dunn, 728 F.3d 1151, 1155 (9th Cir. 2013). The 168-month sentence, which is within the amended Guidelines range, is substantively reasonable in light of the

section 3553(

a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the nature of the offense. See Dunn, 728 F.3d at 1158-59. AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3,
