UNITED STATES v. MARTINEZ PEREZ (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

Jesus Martinez-Perez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 30-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a removed 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.

Martinez-Perez argues that his criminal record and immigration history were not aggravated enough to justify an upward variance from the Guidelines range. 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 Martinez-Perez’s numerous removals and deportations from the United States, his failure to be deterred by prior sentences for illegal reentry, and his continued commission of offenses that could endanger the public. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.

AFFIRMED.
