Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Pedro Villalona

- Torres pled guilty, without a plea agreement, to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine , in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, and possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance , in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) . The district court imposed a below

- Guidelines sentence of 100 months’ imprisonment. Villalona

- Torres appeals, arguing that his sentence is both procedurally and substantively unreasonable. Finding no error, we affirm. We review Villalona

- Torres’ sente nce for reasonableness, applying “a deferential abuse

- of

- discretion standard.” Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 41 (2007). We first ensure that the court “committed no significant procedural error,” such as improperly calculating the Guidelines range, failing to consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, or inadequately explaining the sentence. United States v. Lynn , 592 F.3d 572, 575 (4th Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks omitted). If we find the sentence procedurally reasonable, we also review it s substantive reasonableness under “the totality of the circumstances.” Gall , 552 U.S. at 516. We presume that a sentence within or below the Guidelines range is substantively reasonable. United States v. Zelaya , 908 F.3d 920, 930 (4th Cir. 2018) (citati on omitted). Villalona

- Torres can only rebut the presumption by showing that the sentence is unreasonable when measured against the § 3553(a) factors. United States v. Louthian , 756 F.3d 295, 306 (4th Cir. 2014)
. Villalona

- Torres first argues that the district court abused its discretion by denying him a reduction for acceptance of responsibility. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual , § 3E1.1 (2015). Because the district court properly assessed a two

- level enhancement for3 obstruction of justice, USSG § 3 C1.1, Villalona

- Torres was not eligible for a reduction for acceptance of responsibility except in “extraordinary cases.” USSG § 3E1.1 cmt. n. 4. We find that Villalona

- Torres cannot make this showing. Next, Villalona

- Torres asserts that the district co urt failed to consider all of his non

- frivolous sentencing arguments. We have reviewed the transcript of Villalona

- Torres’ sentencing hearing and find that this argument is unsupported by the record. T he court properly evaluated the relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, considered the parties’ arguments, and adequately explained its reasons for determining that a 100

- month term w as appropriate
. We conclude that the district court met its obligation to “provide a rationale tailored to the particular case at hand and adequate to permit a meaningful appellate review , ” United States v. Carter , 564 F.3d 325, 330 (4th Cir. 2009)
. (internal quotation marks and citations omitted) , and that Villalona

- Torres’ sentence is procedurally reasonable
. Finally, we find t hat Villalona

- Torres has failed to rebut the presumption of substantive reasonableness accorded his below

- Guidelines sentence. Therefore, we affirm Villalona

- Torres’ sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adeq uately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED
