MEMORANDUM **

Alberto Chavez Rodelo appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 71-month sentence imposed following his jury-trial conviction for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Rodelo first argues that the district court erred when it refused to apply a two-level downward adjustment for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1. We review the district court’s decision to deny the adjustment for abuse of discretion and its underlying factual findings for clear error. See United States v. Gasca-Ruiz, 852 F.3d 1167, 1170 (9th Cir. 2017) (en banc). The district court did not abuse its discretion. Contrary to Rodelo’s argument, the district court did not deny the adjustment because Rodelo went to trial, but rather because he failed to accept responsibility for his actions. The court did not clearly err in finding that Rodelo had not expressed genuine contrition prior to sentencing, see United States v. Rodriguez, 851 F.3d 931, 949 (9th Cir. 2017), and the statements Rodelo made at sentencing were insufficient to warrant the adjustment. See United States v. Martinez-Martinez, 369 F.3d 1076, 1090 (9th Cir. 2004).

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

We decline to consider Rodelo’s claim concerning the court’s calculation of the Guidelines range, which he raised for the first time in his reply brief. See United States v. Montoya, 45 F.3d 1286, 1300 (9th Cir. 1995).

AFFIRMED.
