                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:12-CR-210-1

Before REAVLEY, JONES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Jose Alberto Torres-Mendez pleaded guilty to illegal reentry into the
United States and received a sentence of 22 months in prison, which was below
the advisory guidelines range. Now, he argues that his sentence is unreasonable
because it is greater than necessary to meet the goals of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and
because a shorter sentence would have sufficed to deter him from committing

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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

future offenses and to protect the public from him. “We have no jurisdiction to
review [Torres-Mendez’s] apparent claim that the court should have departed
further.” See United States v. Hernandez, 457 F.3d 416, 424 (5th Cir. 2006).
      AFFIRMED.
