Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Joaquin Basurto-Espino appeals from the 57-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported 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.
Basurto-Espino contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. In light of the totality of the circumstances, the sentence, which is below the Guidelines range, is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc).
Basurto-Espino's argument that U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 should not be used both to enhance his sentence and to calculate his criminal history has been rejected by this court. See United States v. Garcia-Cardenas, 555 F.3d 1049, 1050 (9th Cir. 2009).
Basurto-Espino concedes that his contention that the district court erroneously imposed a sentence above the statutory maximum is foreclosed. See United States v. Bolanos-Hemandez, 492 F.3d 1140, 1148 (9th Cir.2007).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
