IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-20563

Summary Calendar 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Plaintiff-Appellee 

v. 

MISAEL FIGUEROA OCAMPO, also known as Misael Figueroa O’Campo, also 

known as Misael Ocampo Figueroa, 

Defendant-Appellant 

Appeals from the United States District Court 

for the Southern District of Texas 

USDC No. 4:15-CR-128-1 

Before WIENER, CLEMENT, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

 Defendant-Appellant Misael Figueroa Ocampo appeals the 36-month 

below-Guidelines sentence he received after he pleaded guilty to illegal reentry 

following an aggravated felony conviction, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and 

(b)(2). Ocampo asserts that the sentence exceeds the mean and median 

sentences for immigration offenses nationwide. He argues that the district 

 

* 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.

court should have considered the remoteness of his prior conviction for robbery 

causing injury, which was used to enhance his sentence, as well as his reason 

for illegally entering this country. 

Because Ocampo failed to object to the reasonableness of the sentence in 

the district court, his sentence is reviewed for plain error only. See United 

States v. Peltier, 505 F.3d 389, 391-92 (5th Cir. 2007). Ocampo fails to rebut 

the presumption of correctness that we accord his below-guidelines sentence

and, therefore, fails to show plain error. See Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 

129, 135 (2009); United States v. Simpson, 796 F.3d 548, 558 (5th Cir. 2015), 

cert. denied, 136 S. Ct. 920 (2016); United States v. Gomez-Herrera, 523 F.3d 

554, 565-66 (5th Cir. 2008).

 AFFIRMED.
