Appeal from the United States District Court

David C. Bury, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted March 12, 2013**
Before: PREGERSON, REINHARDT, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Jose Francisco Avila-Cota appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges the 57-month sentence imposed following his jury-trial conviction for
reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326, and the 21-month

consecutive sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Avila-Cota contends the district court procedurally erred by failing to
consider all of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and by failing to explain
the sentence imposed. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-
Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010), and find none. The district court
adequately considered the section 3553(a) sentencing factors and explained the
sentence sufficiently to permit appellate review. See United States v. Carty, 520
F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
Avila-Cota next contends that the district court violated the parsimony
principle and imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence by giving too much
weight to recidivism. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing
Avila-Cota’s sentences. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). Avila-
Cota’s consecutive sentences are substantively reasonable in light of the section
3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Avila-
Cota’s extensive criminal history. See id.
AFFIRMED.
