* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Hill argues that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his age
and amenability to rehabilitation. The district court did not abuse its discretion in
imposing Hill’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The
within-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. §
3553(a) factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the nature of the
offense and Hill’s criminal history. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
