Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Noel Adrian Medina-Gastelum appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the 71-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found unlawfully in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Medina-Gastelum contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his drug addiction and attempts at rehabilitation. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Medina-Gaste-lum's sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Medina-Gastelum's history of immigration violations and drug convictions. See id.
AFFIRMED.
