Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
In these consolidated appeals, Carlos Enrique Velasquez-Reyes appeals the 24-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326, and the 12-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Velasquez-Reyes contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to consider adequately his argument for a downward variance or departure based on his alleged over-incarceration in a prior case. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir.2010), and find none. The record reflects that the district court considered Velasquez-Reyes' argument and sufficiently explained the sentence. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc).
Velasquez-Reyes next contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of the alleged procedural error, the district court's failure to grant his request for a downward departure or variance, and the mitigating factors. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Velasquez-Reyes' 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 applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the need for deterrence. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.
AFFIRMED.
