PER CURIAM:*

Claudia Elena Montoya was convicted of illegal reentry and was 

sentenced within the guidelines range to 57 months of imprisonment and three 

years of supervised release. In a separate proceeding, her supervised release 

was revoked, and she was sentenced to four months of imprisonment, to run 

concurrently with the sentence for the illegal reentry conviction. Her appeals 

from these judgments have been consolidated for our review.

Montoya contends that her 57-month sentence is substantively 

unreasonable and greater than necessary to satisfy the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) 

factors. Her arguments pertain to the 57-month sentence imposed for her 

illegal reentry conviction; she does not make any specific argument regarding 

her revocation sentence. Accordingly, she has abandoned her appeal of her 

revocation judgment. See Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 

813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). She fails to demonstrate any error, plain or 

otherwise, with respect to the substantive reasonableness of her sentence for 

her illegal reentry conviction. See United States v. Cooks, 589 F.3d 173, 186 

(5th Cir. 2009); United States v. Campos-Maldonado, 531 F.3d 337, 338 (5th 

Cir. 2008). 

The judgments of the district court are AFFIRMED.

 

* 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.
