The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Naccarato, 921 F.2d 282 (9th Cir. 1990):
Sentences within statutory limits are generally not subject to review. Endicott, 803 F.2d at 510. Disparate sentences for codefendants will be upheld when the record shows differences in the defendant's behavior. Cocio v. Bramlett, 872 F.2d 889, 894 (9th Cir.1989).
