for the Eastern District of California
Edward J. Garcia, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted February 21, 2012 **

and to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C.
§§ 846 and 841(a)(1), and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine,
in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291, and we affirm.
Najera-Gordillo contends that the sentence imposed is substantively
unreasonable. The record reflects that the district court considered Najera-
Gordillo’s arguments in mitigation and provided a well-reasoned analysis of the 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, before concluding that a sentence at the
bottom of the Guidelines range was appropriate. The sentence is substantively
reasonable under the totality of the circumstances and in light of the section
3553(a) sentencing factors. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).
AFFIRMED.
