United States v. Restrepo-Perez
Citation: 319 F. App'x 487Docket: No. 08-10189
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; January 21, 2009; Federal Appellate Court
Isidro Giovanni Restrepo-Perez appeals a 15-month sentence imposed for illegal reentry after deportation under 8 U.S.C. § 1326. The appellate court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirms the district court's decision. Restrepo-Perez argues that his sentence is unreasonable due to the district court's excessive reliance on the advisory Sentencing Guidelines, a lack of independent sentencing analysis, and insufficient explanation for denying his request for a downward departure or variance. The court finds these arguments to be without merit, referencing precedents from United States v. Blixt and United States v. Carty. The ruling is affirmed, and the disposition is deemed non-publishable and non-precedential except as indicated by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
