                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Central District of California
                    Dean D. Pregerson, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted April 16, 2013 **

Before:        CANBY, IKUTA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

       Apolonia Ramirez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges

the 87-month sentence imposed following her guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy

to possess with intent to distribute crack cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C.

§§ 841(b)(1)(B)(iii), 846. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we

          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
affirm.

      Ramirez contends that the district court gave insufficient weight to her post-

offense rehabilitation and thereby imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Ramirez’s sentence. See

Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The court was aware of Ramirez’s

post-offense rehabilitation but found that the Guidelines adequately captured her

conduct. Ramirez’s sentence at the bottom of the advisory Guidelines range is

substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and

the totality of the circumstances. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.

      AFFIRMED.
