FILED July 14, 2026 Summary Calendar ____________ Lyle W. Cayce Clerk United States of America,

Plaintiff—Appellee, versus

Juan Manuel Soria-Beltran,

Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 2:25-CR-1237-1 ______________________________

Before Davis, Stewart, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

Juan Manuel Soria-Beltran challenges the substantive reasonableness of his 30-month, above-guidelines prison sentence for illegal reentry. However, he fails to demonstrate that the sentence imposed by the district court does not account for a factor that should have received significant weight, gives significant weight to an irrelevant or improper factor, or Case: 25-50872 Document: 46-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 07/14/2026

No. 25-50872 represents a clear error of judgment in balancing the sentencing factors. See United States v. Fraga, 704 F.3d 432, 440 (5th Cir. 2013).

AFFIRMED.
