                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:13-CR-289-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Maynor Miguel Oro Orellana pleaded guilty without benefit of a written
plea agreement of illegal reentry following deportation, and he was sentenced
within the guidelines range to a 50-month term of imprisonment and to
a three-year period of supervised release. Citing U.S.S.G. § 5D1.1(c), Orellana
contends that the district court erred in failing to explain adequately its

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

reasons for imposing a period of supervised release. As Orellana properly
concedes, our review of this issue is for plain error. See United States v.
Dominguez-Alvarado, 695 F.3d 324, 327-28 (5th Cir. 2012).
      The district court should explain the sentence imposed “to allow for
meaningful appellate review and to promote the perception of fair sentencing.”
Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 50 (2007). Little explanation is required
where, as here, the sentence imposed is within the guidelines range. See
United States v. Cancino-Trinidad, 710 F.3d 601, 606 (5th Cir. 2013).
      In this case, the district court stated that it had imposed a three-year
period of supervision “to deter the defendant from reentering the United States
illegally as a measure of additional deterrence and protection.” The district
court’s explanation for imposing a period of supervised release was adequate
under this court’s decision in Dominguez-Alvarado. See 695 F.3d at 330. There
was no error, plain or otherwise. See id. The judgment is
      AFFIRMED.
