Before DAVIS, SOUTHWICK, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
     Case: 16-50723      Document: 00513898577         Page: 2    Date Filed: 03/06/2017

                                    No. 16-50723
                                 Cons w/ No. 16-50739

PER CURIAM: *
       Claudia Elena Montoya was convicted of illegal reentry and was
sentenced within the guidelines range to 57 months of imprisonment and three
years of supervised release. In a separate proceeding, her supervised release
was revoked, and she was sentenced to four months of imprisonment, to run
concurrently with the sentence for the illegal reentry conviction. Her appeals
from these judgments have been consolidated for our review.
       Montoya contends that her 57-month sentence is substantively
unreasonable and greater than necessary to satisfy the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)
factors. Her arguments pertain to the 57-month sentence imposed for her
illegal reentry conviction; she does not make any specific argument regarding
her revocation sentence. Accordingly, she has abandoned her appeal of her
revocation judgment. See Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner,
813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). She fails to demonstrate any error, plain or
otherwise, with respect to the substantive reasonableness of her sentence for
her illegal reentry conviction. See United States v. Cooks, 589 F.3d 173, 186
(5th Cir. 2009); United States v. Campos-Maldonado, 531 F.3d 337, 338 (5th
Cir. 2008).
       The judgments of the district court are AFFIRMED.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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