PER CURIAM:
Dennis Geovanny Marquez-Cordoba pled guilty to one count
of reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a),
(b)(2) (2000). The district court sentenced Marquez-Cordoba to
ninety months of imprisonment. On appeal, counsel filed an Anders*
brief, in which he states that there are no meritorious issues for
appeal, but suggests that the district court imposed a sentence
that was unreasonable because it was greater than necessary to
serve the ends of justice. Marquez-Cordoba was advised of his
right to file a pro se supplemental brief, but has not filed a
brief. We affirm.
The district court sentenced Marquez-Cordoba within the
applicable advisory Guideline range and well below the twenty-year
statutory maximum set forth in 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2). We cannot
conclude that, under these circumstances, Marquez-Cordoba’s
sentence is unreasonable. See United States v. Johnson, 445 F.3d
339, 345 (4th Cir. 2006); United States v. Green, 436 F.3d 449, 457
(4th Cir.) (finding that sentence imposed within properly
calculated advisory Guideline range is presumptively reasonable),
cert. denied, __ U.S. __, 2006 WL 1057741 (U.S. May 22, 2006) (No.
05-10474).
In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire
record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for

appeal. We therefore affirm Marquez-Cordoba’s conviction and
sentence. This court requires that counsel inform Marquez-Cordoba,
in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the
United States for further review. If Marquez-Cordoba requests that
a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition
would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave
to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that
a copy thereof was served on Marquez-Cordoba. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
