Adolfo Diaz-Corrales appeals the 120-month sentence imposed following her guilty plea to illegal reentry after deportation. As Diaz-Corrales does not challenge the procedural correctness of his sentence, we will proceed to an examination of its substantive reasonableness. See United States v. Brantley, 537 F.3d 347, 349 (5th Cir. 2008). Because he objected to the reasonableness of his sentence, we will apply the abuse of discretion standard. See United States v. Peltier, 505 F.3d 389, 391 (5th Cir. 2007).

Although the district court at times used the term “departure” at the sentencing hearing, the court’s comments, viewed as a whole, and its written Statement of Reasons, clearly reflect that it was imposing a sentence which represented a variance under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) rather than an upward departure. Where the district court has imposed a sentence that varies from the guidelines range, reasonableness review requires this court to evaluate whether the sentence “unreasonably fails to reflect the statutory sentencing factors” set forth at § 3553(a). United States v. Smith, 440 F.3d 704, 708 (5th Cir. 2006). A sentence outside the Guidelines is unreasonable if it “(1) does not account for a factor that should have received significant weight, (2) gives significant weight to an irrelevant or improper factor, or (3) represents a clear error of judgment in balancing the sentencing factors.” Id.

*282 The district court determined that a variance was justified by Diaz-Corrales’s uncounted criminal convictions and his continued illegal activities. The court also specifically cited several of the § 3558(a) factors which it considered relevant. The district court thus made an “individualized assessment based on the facts presented” and concluded that the advisory guidelines range gave insufficient weight to some of the sentencing factors. See United States v. Williams, 517 F.3d 801, 809 (5th Cir. 2008). Because the court cited fact-specific reasons for imposing a non-guideline sentence and its reasons adequately reflected consideration of the § 3553(a) factors, the sentence was reasonable and will not be disturbed. See Brantley, 537 F.3d at 349-50.

AFFIRMED.
