No. 23-30596

We affirm the district court’s denial of his motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence, as the motion was not timely filed. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 33(b)(1). We also affirm the court’s application of U.S.S.G.

§ 1B1.2(d) because Wilson has failed to show that the court clearly erred by implicitly finding that it would have still convicted him of the object offenses of the Hobbs Act robbery conspiracy despite the alleged newly discovered evidence. See United States v. Lockhart, 844 F.3d 501, 513 (5th Cir. 2016).

Finally, Wilson has not demonstrated that the district court abused its discretion in denying his request for a downward variance. See United States v. Douglas, 957 F.3d 602, 609 (5th Cir. 2020). His within-guidelines sentence is presumptively reasonable, and he has not shown that the sentencing court failed to account for a factor that should have received significant weight, gave significant weight to an irrelevant or improper factor, or made a clear error of judgment in weighing the sentencing factors.
