conviction for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We
have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Orozco-Godinez contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable
because the record does not support the district court’s decision to vary upward to
avoid unwarranted sentencing disparities. The district court did not abuse its
discretion in imposing Orozco-Godinez’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552
U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The 18-month sentence, two months above the high end of the
Guidelines range, is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)
sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Orozco-
Godinez’s criminal history. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
