                                                MEMORANDUM*
YARITZA MAYELIN BORQUEZ-
GONZALEZ,

                Defendant-Appellant.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Arizona
                    Raner C. Collins, Chief Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted June 12, 2018**

Before:      RAWLINSON, CLIFTON, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

      Yaritza Mayelin Borquez-Gonzalez appeals from the district court’s

judgment and challenges the 10-month sentence imposed upon revocation of

probation. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

      Borquez-Gonzalez contends that the district court procedurally erred by


      *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
failing to inform her prior to imposing sentence that it intended to reject the

parties’ revocation disposition agreement, which recommended a sentence between

four and seven months. Because Borquez-Gonzalez did not raise this objection in

the district court, we review for plain error. See United States v. Blinkinsop, 606

F.3d 1110, 1114 (9th Cir. 2010). Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11 does not

apply to revocations of probation. See United States v. Segal, 549 F.2d 1293,

1296-1300 (9th Cir. 1977) (Rule 11 and the full panoply of safeguards under

Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969), do not apply to revocations of probation).

While the agreement should have made clear that the court would not be bound by

the parties’ stipulated sentence, Borquez-Gonzalez has not demonstrated a

reasonable probability that but for the alleged error, she would have elected to

withdraw her admission to the probation violations rather than proceed to

sentencing. See United States v. Borowy, 595 F.3d 1045, 1049-50 (9th Cir. 2010).

      We also conclude that the district court did not plainly err in its explanation

of the sentence. While the court’s explanation was brief, its questions and the

record as a whole reflect the court’s consideration of Borquez-Gonzalez’s

mitigating arguments and its reasons for the sentence. See United States v. Carty,

520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).

      Borquez-Gonzalez finally argues that her sentence is substantively

unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion. See Blinkinsop, 606



                                           2                                      17-10303
F.3d at 1116. The within-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light

of the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the

circumstances, including Borquez-Gonzalez’s decision to abscond for almost two

years. See Blinkinsop, 606 F.3d at 1116.

      AFFIRMED.
