versus

                                     Defendant-Appellant.

                       --------------------
          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Western District of Texas
                     USDC No. 1:04-CR-146-ALL
                       --------------------

Before Jolly, Dennis, and Clement, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Michael Lawrence Petisca pleaded guilty to two counts of

bank robbery.    See 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a).    He was sentenced prior

to the Supreme Court’s issuance of United States v. Booker,

543 U.S. 220 (2005).   His case was remanded for resentencing

after Booker.   He now appeals, arguing that the district court

erred in denying his request for a non-guideline sentence below

the applicable guideline range.

     The district court adequately addressed the factors in 18

U.S.C. §3553(a).   Petisca has failed to rebut the presumption of

     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
                          No. 05-50830
                               -2-

reasonableness attached to his guideline sentence.     See United

States v. Alonzo, 435 F.3d 551, 554 (5th Cir. 2006).

     AFFIRMED.
