Derrick Demond Branch appeals his 180-month sentence following his guilty *396 plea conviction for carjacking. See 18 U.S.C. § 2119. Branch argues that the district court erred by imposing a higher non-guidelines sentence based on factors already accounted for in the guidelines calculations.

The district court was not precluded from imposing a departure or variance based on factors that the Guidelines had already taken into account. See United States v. Brantley, 537 F.3d 347, 350 (5th Cir. 2008); United States v. Williams, 517 F.3d 801, 810-11 (5th Cir. 2008).

AFFIRMED.
