United States v. Jose Solis-Flores
Opinion
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Jose Luis Solis-Flores appeals the 70-month sentence that the district court imposed following his conviction for illegal reentry by an aggravated felon, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2) (2012). On appeal, Solis-Flores contends that the district court erred in imposing the within-Guidelines-range sentence. Solis-Flores provides no argument in support of his assertion and has therefore waived appellate review of this issue. See Hensley on behalf of N. C. v. Price, 876 F.3d 573, 580-81 & n.5 (4th Cir. 2017) (“[A] party must do more than take a passing shot at an issue to properly preserve it for appellate review.” (alterations and internal quotation marks omitted)); Eriline Co. S.A. v. Johnson, 440 F.3d 648, 653 n.7 (4th Cir. 2006) (concluding that single, conelusory remark is insufficient to preserve issue for appellate review); Fed. R. App. P. 28(a)(8)(A).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
