Opinion

MEMORANDUM

*

Although Garcia-Aguilar earned two years of time-served credit while waiting to be sentenced, this did not entitle him to a sentence of time served. The district court was permitted to choose between prison and probation, and the page 2 sentence it imposed was a lawful, though not particularly admirable, exercise of its broad sentencing discretion. See, e.g., United States v. Whitehead, 582 F.3d 991, 993 (9th Cir.2008).

Because the district court clearly would have given the same sentence whether or not receipt of stolen property qualifies as an “aggravated felony” within U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(C), we needn’t address that issue.

AFFIRMED.

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