States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm, but remand to correct the judgment.
Monterrozo contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to
consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. The record indicates that the
court did properly consider the sentencing factors, and Monterrozo did not provide
any arguments requiring further explanation. See United States v. Ferguson, 560
F.3d 1060, 1065 (9th Cir. 2009).
Monterrozo also contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. In
light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing
factors, the bottom-of-the-Guidelines sentence was not unreasonable. See Gall v.
United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).
In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062
(9th Cir. 2000), we remand the case to the district court with instructions that it
delete from the judgment the incorrect reference to § 1326(b). See United States v.
Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir. 2000) (remanding sua sponte to
delete the reference to § 1326(b)).
AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct judgment.
