being an illegal alien found in the United States following deportation, in violation
of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Chavez-Pulido contends that the district court procedurally erred at
sentencing by failing to calculate the Guidelines range for his custodial sentence
and supervised release term, to explain the sentence, to address his mitigating
arguments, and to explain why a term of supervised release was warranted in light
of U.S.S.G. § 5D1.1(c). Because defendant did not make any procedural
objections in the district court, we review for plain error. See United States v.
Waknine, 543 F.3d 546, 551 (9th Cir. 2008). We find none. Chavez-Pulido has
not shown a reasonable probability that he would have received a different
sentence absent the alleged errors. See id. at 553.
Chavez-Pulido also contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable
in light of his demonstrated rehabilitation. The district court did not abuse its
discretion in imposing Chavez-Pulido’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552
U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including
Chavez-Pulido’s criminal history. See id.; see also U.S.S.G. § 5D1.1 cmt. n. 5
(district court should consider imposing term of supervised release on deportable
2 12-50241
alien if it determines supervised release would provide an added measure of
deterrence and protection).
AFFIRMED.
