EH/Research
States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

       Murillo-Rodriguez contends that the district court procedurally erred during

sentencing by giving undue weight to the need for deterrence and by failing to

consider the need to avoid unwarranted sentencing disparities. A review of the

record demonstrates that the district court did not procedurally err in fashioning the

sentence. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).

       AFFIRMED.
