The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Rafael Martinez-Gonzalez appeals from the 85-month sentence imposed
following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported 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-Gonzalez contends that the district court committed significant
procedural error by failing to explain adequately the reasons for the sentence.
Martinez-Gonzalez’s sentence is within the Guidelines range, and the court
adequately explained its reasons for selecting this sentence. See United States v.
Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 995 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
