FRANCISCO GALAZ-CHAPARRO,                         MEMORANDUM *

              Defendant - Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Arizona
                    Cindy K. Jorgenson, District Judge, Presiding

                          Submitted September 10, 2012 **

Before: WARDLAW, CLIFTON, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and

we affirm.

      Galaz-Chaparro contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in

light of his personal situation, his unique characteristics, and the true nature of his

non-violent criminal history. The record reflects that under the totality of the

circumstances, including Chaparro’s most recent re-entry only four months after

his last deportation, the sentence within the Guidelines range is not substantively

unreasonable. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a); Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51

(2007).1

      AFFIRMED.
