UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jorge LAGUNAS-CAVALLER, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 10-11928
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    Dec. 29, 2010.
    Jill E. Steinberg, Lawrence R. Sommerfeld, Sally Yates, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Atlanta, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Stephanie Kearns, Brian Mendelsohn, Thomas Jake Waldrop, Federal Defender Program, Inc., Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and CARNES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Jorge Lagunas-Cavaller appeals his 60-month sentence, imposed following his guilty plea to illegally reentering the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. §§ 1326(a) and (b)(2). Lagunas-Cavaller asserts his sentence was substantively unreasonable, because it was unsupported by the § 3553(a) factors. He further argues a 60-month sentence would lead to unwarranted discrepancies between his sentence and those of similarly situated defendants. After review, we affirm Lagunas-Cavaller’s sentence.

Lagunas-Cavaller’s 60-month sentence is substantively reasonable. The sentence was within the applicable guideline range and well below the statutory maximum for the offense. Moreover, the court gave due consideration to the § 3553(a) factors, and imposed a sentence that was sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to comply with the purposes of sentencing. Lastly, Lagunas-Cavaller has failed to demonstrate that he was similarly situated to any defendant who had a similar record and was found guilty of similar conduct, but who received a shorter sentence.

AFFIRMED. 
      
      . We review a final sentence for reasonableness. United States v. Winingear, 422 F.3d 1241, 1244-45 (11th Cir.2005). Reasonableness review is akin to the deferential abuse-of-discretion standard. Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 41, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).
