IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 09-50514

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

ARMANDO JIMENEZ-OROZCO,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 2:08-CR-651-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

*

Armando Jimenez-Orozco (Jimenez) appeals from his 57-month sentence

for illegal reentry; his sentence fell at the bottom of the guidelines range. He

argues that the sentence is unreasonable because the district court failed to

explain its reasons for denying his request for a below-guidelines sentence.

Because Jimenez did not object to his sentence in the district court, we

review for plain error. See United States v. Peltier, 505 F.3d 389, 391-92 (5th

Cir. 2007). The district court’s comments indicate that it considered Jimenez’s

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.

arguments but also took into account his history and the need to deter him from

committing further crimes against the public in the future. See 18 U.S.C.

§ 3553(a); Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The district court was

not required to engage in “robotic incantations that each statutory factor has

been considered.” United States v. Smith, 440 F.3d 704, 707 (5th Cir. 2006)

(internal quotation marks and citation omitted). The within-guidelines sentence

is presumed to be substantively reasonable. See United States v. Alonzo, 435

F.3d 551, 554 (5th Cir. 2006). This court has previously affirmed as

substantively reasonable sentences within the guidelines range in other illegal

reentry cases when defendants raised similar arguments for below-guidelines

sentences. See United States v. Gomez-Herrera, 523 F.3d 554, 565 (5th Cir.

2008); United States v. Rodriguez, 523 F.3d 519, 526 (5th Cir. 2008).

AFFIRMED.
