   MEMORANDUM

Dario Lopez-Arellano appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 41-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found unlawfully in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Lopez-Arellano contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his unique history and characteristics. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Lopez-Arellano’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The sentence at the bottom of the Guidelines range is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Lopez-Arellano’s history of drug-related offenses. See id.

AFFIRMED.
