Heading: Camacho-Maldonado

Text: Camacho-Maldonado was sentenced to 151 months’ imprisonment. On appeal, he first contends that the district court clearly erred in not granting him a 13 minor-role reduction, as there were “many” other people involved in the conspiracy who played a far greater role than he did, and he was merely a courier and the lowest-ranking member of the crew. He also argues that his sentence was unreasonable, because the district court failed to consider the effect that his imprisonment will have on his family in Mexico.
Because the record demonstrates that Camacho-Maldonado’s role in the offense was identical to his relevant conduct, and he failed to show that he was less culpable than the other crew members in the relevant conduct of transporting the cocaine, we conclude that the district court did not clearly err by finding that he did not qualify for a two-level minor-role reduction.
Because we conclude from the record that the district court correctly calculated the advisory guideline range and adequately considered the factors enumerated in § 3553(a), it imposed a procedurally reasonable sentence. Accordingly, we affirm Camacho-Maldonado’s sentence.
