United States v. Arellano-Arredondo
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Appellant Jose Arellano-Arredondo appeals his sentence for illegal re-entry into the United States after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326, with an enhancement under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) in light of a previous conviction for an aggravated felony. We affirm.
I.
Appellant argues that the district court erred in its finding that he was subject to a twenty-year maximum sentence based on his prior conviction for an aggravated felony. Appellant, however, failed to object at sentencing to the application of this sentencing enhancement. We therefore review this issue for plain error and find
II.
Appellant contends that the district court erred at the sentencing hearing by imposing an unreasonably long sentence and by failing to adequately consider on the record the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). We disagree. The district court imposed a reasonable sentence that reflected due consideration of the § 3553(a) factors. See United States v. Diaz-Argueta, 447 F.3d 1167 (9th Cir. 2006).
The decision below is AFFIRMED.
