an illegal alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(A). We have jurisdiction
under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Chavarrin contends that the district court procedurally erred by imposing his
sentence based on a factor that had already been contemplated in calculating the
advisory Guidelines range. The record reflects that the district court carefully
considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors before determining that a
sentence at the high end of the Guidelines range was appropriate under the
circumstances. The district court did not procedurally err, and the sentence is
substantively reasonable under the totality of the circumstances and in light of the
sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See Gall v. United States, 552
U.S. 38, 51 (2007); see also United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir.
2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
