Victor Alfonso Gaona Delgado was convicted of illegal reentry by a felon and was sentenced, pursuant to the district court’s decision to impose an upward variance, to serve 45 months in prison and a three-year term of supervised release. In this appeal, Gaona Delgado argues that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because the district court failed to give proper weight to his arguments in mitigation and because his 45-month sentence exceeds what is needed in his case. Because Gaona Delgado did not raise these issues in the district court, they are reviewed for plain error only. See United States v. MondragonSantiago, 564 F.3d 357, 361 (5th Cir. 2009).

Our review of the record and pertinent authority shows that Gaona Delgado’s arguments are unavailing. The choice of sentence was grounded in the judge’s assessment of proper factors, and the sentence itself is not unreasonable. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a); United States v. Smith, 440 F.3d 704, 708 (5th Cir. 2006). Gaona Delgado’s arguments amount to no more than a disagreement with the district court’s sentencing decision, and this quarrel does not suffice to show error in connection with his sentence.

AFFIRMED.
