### FILED April 2, 2015 Lyle W. Cayce Clerk Case: 14-50710 Document: 00512991838 Page: 1 Date Filed: 04/02/2015No. 14

- 50710 reasonableness because the illegal reentry Guideline, U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2, lacks an empirical basis and effectively double counts his criminal history by using prior offense s to increase both his criminal history and offense level s; that because his offense was equivalent to an international trespass, the sentence overstates the seriousness of his offense, fails to provide just punishment for that offense, and un dermines respect for the law; and that t he sentence is greater than ne cessary to provide adequate deterrence and fails to account for his personal history and circumstances

. We review for an abuse of discretion. Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). Because the sentence was within the correctly calculated guide lines range, it is presumptively reasonable. See United States v. Alonzo , 435 F.3d 551, 554 (5th Cir. 2006). Gurrola

- Perez concedes that his empirical basis challenge to the presumption of reasonableness is foreclosed

. S ee United States

v. Duarte , 56 9 F .3d 528, 529

- 31 (5th Cir. 2009). This court has also rejected the argument that a sentence imposed pursuant to § 2L1.2 is greater than necessary to meet the § 3553(a) goals as a result of any double counting inherent in the Guideline , see id ., as well as the argument that illegal reentry is merely a n international trespass offense , see United States v. Juarez

- Duarte , 513 F.3d 204, 212 (5th Cir. 2008). As to Gurrola

- Perez’s arguments that his sentence wa s greater than necessary to provide adequate deterren ce and that his sentence fails to account for his personal history and circumstances, t he record reflects that Gurrola

Perez was given an opportunity to argue mitigating factors at sentencing and that the district court concluded, after consideration of the § 3553(a) factors, that a sentence at the bottom end of the advisory guidelines range was appropriate. Gurrola

- Perez had an extensive criminal history, including three illegal entry convictions. Gurrola

- Perez also us ed a number of different

- 50710 aliases, Social Security numbers, and birthdates. Given the above, Gurrola

Perez fails to rebut the presumption of reasonableness that attaches to his within
