1Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Elsa Martina Arenas (“Arenas”) was convicted of one count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and two counts of distribution of methamphetamine. She was sentenced to 176 months’ imprisonment.1- She appeals her sentence, contending that it was infected by procedural errors and is substantively unreasonable. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a), and we affirm.

1. Arenas contends that the district court erroneously assumed it could not consider her alleged post-sentence rehabilitation, and in so doing committed reversible error.
