United States v. Alfredo Navarro-Garcia

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Alfredo Navarro-Garcia appeals from the 30-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Navarro-Garcia contends that the district court misinterpreted Application Note 8 of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2, erroneously depriving him of the cultural assimilation departure. He also contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not procedurally err and Navarro-Garcia’s low-end Guidelines sentence is reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 761 (9th Cir. 2008) (“[W]e consider [Navarro-Garcia’s] contention that the district court erred when it denied his motion for a downward departure ... to the extent that the denial implicates the overall reasonableness of [his] sentence.”).

AFFIRMED.
