Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia
_________________________
(March 9, 2012)
Before HULL, PRYOR and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Carlos Antonil Villanueva-Almendarez appeals his sentence of 12 months
of imprisonment following the revocation of his supervised release. 18
U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3). Villanueva-Almendarez argues that his sentence is
substantively unreasonable. We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion. Villaneuva-Almendez, a
native and citizen of Honduras, was deported from the United States in January
1997, September 1999, March 2000, and January 2006, and during that time he
accumulated five convictions in the courts of Georgia and Florida for offenses,
including criminal damage to property, burglary, and shoplifting. In October
2006, authorities arrested Villaneuva-Almendez in Georgia, and he later pleaded
guilty to reentering the United States illegally and received a sentence of 33
months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. In 2010,
Villaneuva-Almendez again reentered the United States illegally, and after he was
sentenced to a term of 51 months of imprisonment, the government moved to
revoke his supervised release. In response to Villanueva-Almendez’s request for
leniency, the district court explained that it “shared the frustrations [of others] . . .
that [Villanueva-Almendez] continues to return” to the United States despite
warnings that another illegal reentry would be “a serious offense for which he
could serve significant time.” The district court considered the sentencing factors,
2
18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and reasonably determined that a sentence of 12 months of
imprisonment consecutive to Villaneuva-Almendarez’s sentence of 51 months of
imprisonment for his illegal reentry was “needed in order to enforce [the] Court’s
sentences and orders as well as to impress upon . . . and hopefully deter” him from
future similar conduct. Villaneuva-Almendarez’s sentence to a term well below
the advisory guideline range is reasonable.
We AFFIRM Villanueva-Almendarez’s sentence.
