2 Ordinarily, this court reviews a district court’s interpretation and application of the Sentencing Guidelines de novo and reviews a district court’s factual findings for clear error. U nited Statesv. Brazell , 489 F.3d 666, 668 (5th Cir. 2007). Issues that were not raised in the district court are reviewed for plain error only. United States v. Myers, 198 F.3d 160, 166 (5th Cir. 1999). Tovar argues that the district court erred in applying a four-level enhancement for his being a leader or organizer because the presentence report stated that he was a manager or supervisor, a finding that warrants only a three-level enhancement. See U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1. The Government argues that Tovar did not adequately raise this issue in the district court to preserve it for appellate review and that our review should therefore be for plain error. At sentencing, both parties interchanged § 3B1.1’s terminology, arguing whether Tovar was a “leader and manager.” Although the district court did at one point refer to the question at issue as whether Tovar was a “supervisor/manager,” it also questioned whether Tovar w as the “head of the conspiracy.” The district court did not specifically state that it found that Tovar was a leader or organizer, although it applied the four-level enhancement consistentwith such a finding. Under either standard of review advanced by the parties, we conclude that the application ofthe four-level enhancement was not error. The testimony of DEA Agent Randel Gillette at Tovar’s sentencing hearing was adequate to support a finding that Tovar was the leader or organizer of the criminal activity. Tovar also argues that his 360-month sentence is unreasonable. He argues that the district court did not adequately consider that the instant conviction is his first felony conviction and did not adequately consider the need for the sentence to provide just punishment for the offense. Where, as here, the district c ourt imposes a sentence within a properly calculated guidelines range, thesentence isentitled toa rebuttable presumption of reasonableness. See United States v. Alonzo, 435 F.3d 551, 553-54 (5th Cir.No. 06-50429

3 2006). To rebut the presumption, Tovar must demonstrate that the sentence “(1) does not account for a factor that should have received significant weight, (2) gives significant weight to an irrelevant or improper factor; or (3) represents a clear error ofjudgment in balancing the sentencing factors” and “falls so far afoul of one o

f [these standards] as to constitute a clear error in the court’s exercise ofits broad sentencing discretion.” U nited Statesv. Nikonova, 480 F.3d 371, 376 (5th Cir.) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted), cert. denied, 128 S. Ct. 163 (2007). Tovar has not made the showing required to rebut the presumption that his sentence within a properly calculated guidelines range is reasonable. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
