UNITED STATES v. MANN (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

Floyd Jay Mann, Jr., appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 120-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea convictions for wire fraud and money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C §§ 1343 and 1956. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Mann contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable because the district court gave undue weight to the losses sustained by the victims, and failed to consider mitigating factors including his age, his lack of a serious criminal history, and his successful completion of a drug treatment program while on supervision. “The weight to be given the various factors in a particular case is for the discretion of the district court.” United States v. Gutierrez-Sanchez, 587 F.3d 904, 908 (9th Cir. 2009). The district court did not abuse its discretion in weighing the factors here. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The above-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the significant financial and emotional losses sustained by the victims, the elaborate nature of the fraudulent scheme, the need to protect the public, and the need for deterrence. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.

AFFIRMED.
