§ 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Rodriguez contends that the 41-month sentence is substantively
unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing
Rodriguez’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The
sentence at the top of the advisory Guidelines range is substantively reasonable in
light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the
circumstances, including Rodriguez’s extensive criminal and immigration history.
See id.; see also United States v. Gutierrez-Sanchez, 587 F.3d 904, 908 (9th Cir.
2009) (“The weight to be given the various factors in a particular case is for the
discretion of the district court.”).
AFFIRMED.
