United States v. Sergio Ramos-Lopez
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Sergio Ramos-Lopez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 87-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Ramos-Lopez contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because the district court gave undue weight to his stale drug trafficking and robbery convictions, and failed to give sufficient weight to his history and characteristics, including his drug addiction. He also argues that the sentence is longer than necessary to afford adequate deterrence and to protect the public. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Ramos-Lopez’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The 87-month sentence in the middle of the Guidelines range is substantively reasonable in light the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the eircum-stances, including Ramos-Lopez’s criminal and immigration history. See id.
AFFIRMED.
