IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 19-40382

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

RAY GREEN,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 2:18-CR-1388-1

Before JOLLY, JONES, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Ray Green appeals the within-guidelines sentence of 210 months of 

imprisonment imposed following his guilty-plea convictions for conspiring to 

possess with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and 

possessing a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime. He contends that 

the district court failed to consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors.

* 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.

Because he did not raise this alleged procedural error in the district 

court, we review for plain error only. United States v. Mondragon-Santiago, 

564 F.3d 357, 361-62 (5th Cir. 2009). As Green’s sentence falls within the 

applicable guidelines range, we infer that the district court considered the 

§ 3553(a) factors. United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 519-20 (5th Cir. 2005). 

Moreover, Green does not even attempt, and thus fails, to show plain error. 

See Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009).

AFFIRMED.
