   MEMORANDUM

Hilario Moreno-Gareia appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 27-month consecutive sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Moreno-Gareia contends that the district court’s denial of his motions to unseal the sentencing transcripts of his co-defendants violated his First Amendment rights and impeded his ability to evaluate his sentence for disparities with the sentences of his co-defendants. The district court did not abuse its discretion because the record supports its conclusion that Moreno-Garcia’s interest in investigating potential sentencing disparities did not outweigh the compelling interest of maintaining the safety of his co-defendants and their families. See In re Copley Press, Inc., 518 F.3d 1022, 1026, 1028-29 (9th Cir.2008).

Moreno-Gareia next argues that the district court procedurally erred by failing to consider unwarranted sentencing disparities when it decided to run his revocation sentence consecutively to the sentence for his underlying drug conspiracy. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir.2010), and find none. The district court considered Moreno-Garcia’s sentencing disparity argument and found it unpersuasive because Moreno-Garcia’s circumstances were unique.

Moreno-Gareia finally contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The Guidelines contemplate that revocation sentences are to run consecutively to sentences for new offenses, see U.S.S.G. § 7B1.3(f), and Moreno-Garcia’s sentence is substantively reasonable in light of his breach of the court’s trust. See United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1062-63 (9th Cir.2007).

AFFIRMED.
