United States v. Hector Gonzalez-Corella

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION AUG 01 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 12-50158 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 3:10-cr-00306-JLS v. MEMORANDUM * HECTOR GONZALEZ-CORELLA, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Janis L. Sammartino, District Judge, Presiding Submitted July 24, 2013 ** Before: ALARCÓN, CLIFTON, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges. Hector Gonzalez-Corella appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 63-month sentence and 3-year term of supervised release imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found in the United * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Gonzalez-Corella contends that the district court erred by imposing a 16-level increase pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) for his prior robbery conviction under section 211 of the California Penal Code. As Gonzalez-Corella concedes, this argument is foreclosed by United States v. Flores-Mejia, 687 F.3d 1213, 1214-16 (9th Cir. 2012). We decline Gonzalez-Corella’s request that we seek en banc review of this issue. Gonzalez-Corella also contends that the three-year term of supervised release is substantively unreasonable in light of U.S.S.G. § 5D1.1(c). The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Gonzalez-Corella’s term of supervised release. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances, including Gonzalez-Corella’s extensive criminal history and the need for additional deterrence. See id.; U.S.S.G. § 5D1.1 cmt. n.5 (the district court should consider imposing supervised release on a deportable alien “if the court determines it would provide an added measure of deterrence and protection”). AFFIRMED. 2 12-50158
