Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
David C. Bury, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted November 17, 2009**
Before: ALARCÓN, TROTT, and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.
Jose Alberto Tapia-Hernandez appeals from the 57-month sentence imposed
following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry after deportation, in
violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1291, and we affirm.
Tapia-Hernandez contends that the district court erred by treating the
Guidelines as presumptively reasonable in the absence of extraordinary factors to
justify a downward variance. The district court did not procedurally err by
concluding that a sentence below the Guidelines range was not warranted in light
of the circumstances of the case. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 994-95
(9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
