United States v. Fernando Velasquez-Bosque
United States v. Fernando Velasquez-Bosque
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Fernando Aberto Velasquez-Bosque appeals from the 84-month sentence imposed on remand for resentencing, following his jury conviction for being an illegal alien found in the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm, but remand to correct the judgment.
Velasquez-Bosque contends that the district court procedurally erred by placing excessive weight on the advisory Guidelines range and by treating the Guidelines range as presumptively reasonable. He also contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The record reflects that the district court did not procedurally err, and that the sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir. 2000), we remand the case to the district court with instructions that it delete from the judgment the clerical error resulting in the incorrect reference to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2). See United States v. Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir. 2000) (remanding sua sponte to delete the reference to § 1326(b)).
AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct the judgment.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
