*1 Before: PAEZ, BEA, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

Floyd Dean Best, Jr., appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the ten-year term of supervised release imposed following his guilty- plea conviction for conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of a methamphetamine mixture or substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), *2 (b)(1)(B) and 846. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Best contends that the district court impermissibly imposed the term of supervised release to punish him. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan , 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010), and conclude that the district court did not plainly err. Contrary to Best’s contention, the record reflects that the district court properly based the term of supervised release on Best’s history and characteristics, as well as the need for deterrence, and did not rely on any improper factors. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(c).

Moreover, the ten-year term of supervised release is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3583(c) factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the need to deter Best from future criminal conduct. See Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
