FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION MAR 29 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 09-30194 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 3:06-cr-00446-JO v. MEMORANDUM * RODRIGO DIAZ-LOPEZ, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon Robert E. Jones, District Judge, Presiding Submitted March 16, 2010 ** Before: SCHROEDER, PREGERSON, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges. Rodrigo Diaz-Lopez appeals from the 72-month sentence imposed * 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). GT/Research following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm, but remand to correct the judgment. Diaz-Lopez contends that the district court improperly considered certain personal characteristics at sentencing. We review for plain error, see United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 761 (9th Cir. 2008), and affirm because Diaz-Lopez has not established plain error by the district court, much less that consideration of these personal characteristics affected his substantial rights, see id. at 761-62. Diaz-Lopez also contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. In light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, the below-guideline sentence was not unreasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir. 2000), we remand the case to the district court with instructions that it delete from the judgment the incorrect reference to § 1326(b). See United States v. Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir. 2000) (remanding sua sponte to delete the reference to § 1326(b)). AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct judgment. GT/Research 2 09-30194
