                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Central District of California
                     Percy Anderson, District Judge, Presiding

                              Submitted June 22, 2015**

Before:        HAWKINS, GRABER, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

       Rogelio Zaragosa-Navarro appeals the 41-month sentence imposed after he

pleaded guilty to being an illegal alien found in the United States following



          *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1291, and we affirm.

      Zaragosa-Navarro argues for the first time on appeal that the government

violated the terms of the parties’ “fast-track” plea agreement by implicitly arguing

for a sentence harsher than the sentence to which the parties had agreed. We find

no plain error. See United States v. Whitney, 673 F.3d 965, 970 (9th Cir. 2012).

Even if the government breached the plea agreement in its sentencing

memorandum by characterizing Zaragosa-Navarro as dangerous based on his prior

deportations and convictions, the breach did not affect Zaragosa-Navarro’s

substantial rights. See United States v. Gonzalez-Aguilar, 718 F.3d 1185, 1187

(9th Cir. 2013). At sentencing, the district court referenced facts that were

contained in the presentence report, but not the government’s sentencing

memorandum, when discussing its reasons for rejecting the plea agreement. It

noted that most of Zaragosa-Navarro’s convictions were stale, which suggests that

the court did not credit the government’s allegedly improper argument. However,

the court expressed concern that the stipulated sentence would not deter Zaragosa-

Navarro from reentering the United States, noting that he had already served a

30-month sentence for a past illegal reentry offense. Under these circumstances,




                                          2                                     13-50530
there is not a reasonable probability that the alleged breach affected the court’s

sentencing determination. See id. at 1188-89.

      AFFIRMED.
