Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Juan Heredia-Pantaleon appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the 18-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a removed alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Heredia-Pantaleon contends that his within-Guidelines sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his personal characteristics, . cultural ties to the United States, and criminal history. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Heredia-Pantaleon'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. See id.
AFFIRMED.
