No. 18-50957 c/w No. 18-50958 consecutively with the sentence imposed for the new law violation of aiding and abetting possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

Sentences imposed upon revocation of supervised release are reviewed under 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a)(4)’s “plainly unreasonable” standard, which is more deferential than the reasonableness standard applicable to sentences imposed upon conviction. See United States v. Warren, 720 F.3d 321, 326 (5th Cir. 2013). The district court heard Quintela-Galindo’s mitigating arguments and concluded that a consecutive, within-guidelines sentence of 24 months was appropriate. His arguments here amount to a disagreement with the district court’s balancing of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and decision to run the sentences consecutively. This court will not reweigh those factors. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). Further, he cannot establish any error in connection with the district court’s decision to impose consecutive sentences. See United States v. Cotroneo, 89 F.3d 510, 512 (5th Cir. 1996); see also U.S.S.G. § 7B1.3(f), p.s. Quintela-Galindo has not overcome the presumption of reasonableness that applies. See United States v. Lopez- Velasquez, 526 F.3d 804, 808-09 (5th Cir. 2008). The district court’s revocation sentence is affirmed (No. 18-50957).

Although Quintela-Galindo appealed the judgment on the new law violation, he raises no challenge to that conviction or sentence, citing the appeal waiver in his plea agreement. Thus, the judgment underlying that appeal (No. 18-50958) is likewise affirmed. Quintela-Galindo’s pro se motion for appointment of new counsel which, on its face, is labeled “ex parte,” is stricken for failure to comply with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 25(b) and (d) requiring service of all filings and proof thereof. Alternatively, it is denied as untimely. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
