Fernando Avila-Palacios (Avila) appeals the 188-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea convictions for two counts of conspiracy, possession with intent to distribute, and importation of more than 50 kilograms of marijuana. Avila argues that his sentence was unreasonable because it exceeded the length of time necessary to achieve the sentencing goals of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).

Avila has not shown that the sentence imposed by the district court was unreasonable. His 188-month sentence was within the applicable guidelines range and is entitled to a presumption of reasonableness. See Gall v. United States, - U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 586, 597, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); United States v. Alonzo, 435 F.3d 551, 554 (5th Cir. 2006). The record reflects that the district court considered all of the factors Avila presented in his argument, but it exercised its discretion to impose a sentence at the bottom of the guideline range rather than depart down *202 ward. The sentence imposed was reasonable. See United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 520 (5th Cir. 2005).

AFFIRMED.
