______________________________

Appeals from the United States District Court 

for the Western District of Texas

USDC Nos. 2:23-CR-506-1, 2:23-CR-69-1

______________________________

Before Elrod, Chief Judge, and Haynes and Duncan, Circuit Judges. 

Per Curiam:*

David Gomez-Guijarro pleaded guilty to illegal reentry into the 

United States after removal and was sentenced at the top of the guidelines 

range to 87 months of imprisonment. At the same time, the district court 

revoked the term of supervised release Gomez-Guijarro was then serving and 

sentenced him at the top of the advisory range to a consecutive term of 14 

months of imprisonment. Gomez-Guijarro appeals, contesting the 

procedural reasonableness of his consecutive sentences.

The district court sufficiently explained the within-guidelines 

consecutive sentences it imposed. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 50-

51 (2007); United States v. Becerril-Pena, 714 F.3d 347, 349-50 (5th Cir. 2013). 

Gomez-Guijarro’s arguments to the contrary, based on the mistaken premise 

that the district court imposed above-guidelines sentences, are unpersuasive. 

See United States v. Candia, 454 F.3d 468, 472-73 (5th Cir. 2006); U.S.S.G. 

§ 7B1.3(f). 

AFFIRMED.
