Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Carlos Guinto

- Morales pled guilty to illegal reentry by a n aggravated felon, 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2) (2012). He received a Guidelines sentence of 48 months’ imprisonment. On appeal, c ounsel has filed an Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967) brief, finding no meritorious iss ues, but questioning whether Guinto

- Morales’ sentence is substantively reasonable. Fi nding no error, we affirm. This court reviews a sentence for reasonableness, applying an abuse of discretion standard. Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38 , 51 (2007). We first review for significant procedural errors, including whether the district court failed to calculate or improperly calculated the Sentencing Guidelines range, treated the Guidelines as mandatory, failed to consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2012) f actors, or failed to adequately explain its chosen sentence. Id. If we find the sentence procedurally reasonable, we then examine substantive reasonableness, considering the totality of the circumstances. Id. If the sentence is within the Guidelines range, this court applies a presumption of reasonableness. United States v. Mendoza

Mendoza , 597 F.3d 212, 217 (4th Cir. 2010). We have reviewed the record in this case and find that Guinto

- Morales ’ s entence is substantively reasonable. The district court meaningfully responded to defense counsel ’ s3 arguments for a sentence at the low end of, o r below , t he Guidelines range, and explained its chosen sentence. Furthermore, Guinto

- Morales presents no evidence to rebut the presumption of reasonableness applicable to his within

Guidelines sentence. In accordance with Anders , we have reviewed the rec ord in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. We therefore affirm Guinto

- Morales’ conviction and sentence. This court requires that counsel inform Guinto

- Morales , in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United St ates for further review. If Guinto

- Morales requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel ’ s motion must state that

a copy thereof was served on Guinto

- Morales
. W e dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
