                                                  MEMORANDUM*
 SEBASTIAN QUINTO-PARTIDO,

              Defendant - Appellant.

                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                               for the District of Nevada
                     Jennifer A. Dorsey, District Judge, Presiding

                           Submitted November 18, 2015**

Before:        TASHIMA, OWENS, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.

         Sebastian Quinto-Partido appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges the 30-month custodial sentence and three-year term of supervised

release imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien

found in unlawfully the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

      Quinto-Partido contends that the custodial sentence and three-year term of

supervised release are substantively unreasonable. The district court did not abuse

its discretion in imposing Quinto-Partido’s sentence. See Gall v. United States,

552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The low-end custodial sentence and term of supervised

release are substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing

factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Quinto-Partido’s extensive

immigration history and the need for adequate deterrence. See U.S.S.G.

§ 5D1.1 cmt. n.5 (supervised release term for a deportable alien is appropriate if it

would provide added measure of deterrence); Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.

      AFFIRMED.
