United States v. Areli Vences-Navarette

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Areli Vences-Navarette appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 48-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found unlawfully in the *861 United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Vences-Navarette contends that his above-Guidelines sentence is substantively unreasonable because the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors supported the imposition of a within-Guideline sentence. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Vences-Navarette’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the section 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Vences-Navarette’s extensive criminal and immigration history. See id.

AlFFIRMED.
