United States v. Bueno

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Bueno, 264 F. App'x 621 (9th Cir. 2008)

United States v. Bueno

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Victor Manuel Lugo Bueno appeals from the 70-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being an alien in the United States after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

*622Lugo Bueno contends that the district court did not adequately explain the reasons for the sentence. We disagree. See Rita v. United States, - U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 2456, 2468-69, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007).

We also conclude that the sentence was not unreasonable in light of the factors contained in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 260-61, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005) (holding that court of appeals reviews sentences for reasonableness in light of § 3553(a) factors); see also Gall v. United States, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 586, 594, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007) (explaining that court of appeals is reviewing for abuse of discretion when determining whether a sentence is reasonable).

AFFIRMED.
