MEMORANDUM

Henry Edward Murillo appeals from the 30-month term of supervised release imposed following the revocation of his supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Murillo contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable because it is greater than necessary, and the district court relied on impermissible factors in its sentencing decision. Taken in context, the district court’s reference to “punishment” concerned sanctions for Murillo’s supervised release violation, not for the underlying state crime. See United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1063 (9th Cir.2007). In light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) sentencing factors, Murillo’s 30-month term of supervised release, which is below the statutory maximum, is substantively reasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
