UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Teodoro MORENO-MONTENEGRO, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 07-50784
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    April 17, 2008.
    Joseph H. Gay, Jr., Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Thomas L. Wright, El Paso, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before WIENER, GARZA, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Teodoro Moreno-Montenegro (Moreno) appeals the 57-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry following removal. He asserts that his sentence, imposed within the applicable sentencing guideline range, is unreasonable because of his uncontradicted evidence that he had returned to the United States to attend his son’s birthday and baptism and that he intended to return to Mexico after the event.

There is no evidence that the district court committed a significant procedural error at sentencing. See Gall v. United States, — U.S.—, 128 S.Ct. 586, 597, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). Where, as here, the district court imposes a sentence within a properly calculated guideline range, the sentence is entitled to a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness. See United States v. Alonzo, 435 F.3d 551, 553-54 (5th Cir.2006); see also Rita v. United States, — U.S.—, 127 S.Ct. 2456, 2462, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007). Moreno has failed to demonstrate that his sentence is unreasonable. See Gall, 128 S.Ct. at 597. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
