United States v. Jose Arenas-Aranda

Opinion

MEMORANDUM ***

Jose Manuel Arenas-Aranda appeals from the 48-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Arenas-Aranda contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of several mitigating factors and because he was sentenced to only six months for a prior misdemeanor immigration conviction. In light of the totality of the circumstances, including Arenas-Aranda’s eight previous deportations, the sentence 15 months below the Guidelines range is substantively reasonable. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a); Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
