- Salem, North Carolina, for Appellant. Amy Elizabeth Ray, Assistant United State s Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Joan Manzanares Solis appeals his sentence of fifteen months in prison after pleading guilty to illegal reentry of a deporte d alien subsequent to a felony conviction in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(1) (2012). Solis’s attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), asserting, in his opinion, there are no meritorious grounds for appeal b ut raising the issue of whether his sentence is unreasonable. Solis was notified of his right to file a pro se supplemental brief but has not done so. We affirm. We review a criminal sentence for reasonableness using an abuse of discretion standard. Uni ted States v. McManus , 734 F.3d 315, 317 (4th Cir. 2013) (citing Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007)). First, we consider whether the district court committed any significant procedural error, such as improperly calculating the Guidelines range, failing to consider the sentencing factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2012), or failing to adequately explain the sentence. United States v. Allmendinger , 706 F.3d 330, 340 (4th Cir.), cert. denied , 133 S. Ct. 2747 (2013). If the sentence is procedurall y reasonable, we then consider its substantive reasonableness, taking into account the totality of the circumstances. Gall , 552 U.S. at 51. We presume that a sentence within a properly calculated3 Guidelines range is substantively reasonable. United States v. Susi , 674 F.3d 278, 289 (4th Cir. 2012). In sentencing, the district court must first correctly calculate the defendant’s sentencing range under the Sentencing Guidelines. Allmendinger , 706 F.3d at 340. The district court is next required to gi ve the parties an opportunity to argue for what they believe is an appropriate sentence, and the court must consider those arguments in light of the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2012). Allmendinger , 706 F.3d at 340. When rendering a sentence, the district court must make and place on the record an individualized assessment based on the particular facts of the case. United States v. Carter , 564 F.3d 325, 328, 330 (4th Cir. 2009). In explaining the sentence, the “sentencing judge should set fo rth enough to satisfy the appellate court that he has considered the parties’ arguments and has a reasoned basis for exercising his own legal decisionmaking authority.” Rita v. United States , 551 U.S. 338, 356 (2007). While a district court must consider the statutory factors and explain its sentence, it need not explicitly reference § 3553(a) or discuss every factor on the record. United States v. Johnson , 445 F.3d 339, 345 (4th Cir. 2006). We have reviewed the record and conclude that Solis’s
sentence is reasonable. The district court properly calculated his Guidelines range and reasonably determined a sentence at the4 low end of the range, to run consecutively to his six

- month sentence for violating his supervised release on a prior federal conviction, was appropriate in this case. The district court explained that i t sentenced Solis at the low end of his Guidelines range based on his arguments. However, the court denied his request for a concurrent sentence because it would not serve the purposes of sentencing, and a consecutive sentence was appropriate based on his repeated offenses and disregard for the law. On appeal, Solis contends his sentence is procedurally unreasonable, because the district court “failed to provide an individualized assessmen t of the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors considered in imposing the chosen sentence.” However, our review of the record convinces us that the district court considered the § 3553(a) factors and rendered an individualized assessment based on the par ticular facts of this case. In accordance with Anders , we have reviewed the entire record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. This court requires that counsel inform his or her client, in writing, of his or her right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If the client requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court5 for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on the client. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court a nd argument would not aid the decisional
process.
