Kenneth Wayne Pearson appeals the sentence he received after this court remanded his case for resentencing in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). Pearson argues that the district court misapplied the Guidelines by not granting him a two-level reduction in his offense level under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 for his mitigating role. Given that Pearson’s role was not peripheral to the Brown Drug Organization, the denial of such an adjustment was not clearly erroneous. See United States v. Caldwell, 448 F.3d 287, 290 (5th Cir. 2006); United States v. Villanueva, 408 F.3d 193, 204 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 126 S.Ct. 268, 163 L.Ed.2d 241 (2005).

The district court’s 188-month sentence, which was a deviation from the Guidelines, was not an abuse of discretion. The district court articulated its reasons for the sentence and those reasons reflected the totality of the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See United States v. Armendariz, 451 F.3d 352, 358 n. 5 (5th Cir. 2006); United States v. Smith, 440 F.3d 704, 707 (5th Cir. 2006).

AFFIRMED.
