   MEMORANDUM

Jesus Baca-Hernandez appeals from the 70-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Baca-Hernandez contends that the district court erred by denying his request for a downward departure for cultural assimilation under U.S.S.G. § 5K2.0. He also contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not procedurally err, and the sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 760-61 (9th Cir.2008); United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992-94 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.
