Ruben Castaneda-Velez (Castaneda) pleaded guilty to attempting to reenter the United States without having obtained consent to reapply for admission. Castaneda’s guidelines sentencing range was enhanced by 16 levels pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 because he had previously been deported following a conviction for a crime of violence. The district court sentenced him to 77 months of imprisonment and a three-year term of supervised release.

Castaneda contends that his sentence is procedurally unreasonable because the district court did not give a sufficient explanation for the sentence. Because Castaneda did not object to the explanation at sentencing, we review this contention for plain error. See United States v. Lopez-Velasquez, 526 F.3d 804, 806 (5th Cir. *110 2008), petition for cert, filed (July 25, 2008)(No. 08-5514).

The district court’s adoption of the pre-sentence report (PSR) and consideration of Castaneda’s objections to the PSR, arguments for a below-guidelines sentence, and the § 3553(a) factors in determining Castaneda’s within-guidelines sentence constituted sufficient reasons for imposing the sentence. See Rita v. United States, — U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 2456, 2468-69, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007); United States v. Hernandez, 457 F.3d 416, 424 (5th Cir. 2006). There was no clear or obvious error that affected Castaneda’s substantial rights or rendered the sentence proeedurally unreasonable. See Rita, 127 S.Ct. at 2468-69.

Castaneda also argues that although his was a within-guidelines sentence, it should not be presumed reasonable because U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 is flawed under Kim-brough v. United States, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 558, 574, 169 L.Ed.2d 481 (2007), wherein the Supreme Court recognized that certain Guidelines do not take account of empirical data and national experience. This argument is also reviewed for plain error. See United States v.Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d 268, 272 (5th Cir. 2005).

Although Kimbrough made clear that a district court may, in certain cases, conclude that the Guidelines fail properly to reflect § 3553(a)’s considerations and may disagree with guidelines policy, it does not follow that a district court abuses its discretion when it concludes, as the district court did here, that the Guidelines are appropriate. This court recently rejected a similar argument in United States v. Campos-Maldonado, 531 F.3d 337, 339 (5th Cir. 2008), petition for ceri. filed (Aug. 20, 2008) (No. 08-5988).

AFFIRMED.
