deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Ledesma-Aceves contends that the district court erred at sentencing by
failing to consider his arguments, and that the overall sentence is unreasonable in
light of the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). The record reflects that the
district court considered each of Ledesma-Aceves’ arguments at sentencing, and
properly considered the § 3553(a) factors in deciding whether they supported the
sentence suggested by Ledesma. Accordingly, there was no procedural error. See
United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-993 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
Moreover, in light of the totality of the circumstances, the sentence imposed is not
substantively unreasonable. See id. at 993.
AFFIRMED.
