Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Louis Charles Morgan appeals from the district court’s decision, following a limited remand under United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1084-85 (9th Cir.2005) (en banc), that it would not have imposed a different sentence had it known that the Sentencing Guidelines were advisory. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Morgan contends that the district court erred by failing to consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors during the Ameline remand. We conclude that the district court “properly understood the full scope of [its] discretion in a post-Booker world.” See United States v. Combs, 470 F.3d 1294,1297 (9th Cir.2006).

AFFIRMED.
