UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Armando TORRES-NAVARETTE, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 09-50011.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Feb. 16, 2010.*

Filed March 2, 2010.

Curtis Arthur Kin, Esquire, Michael J. Raphael, Assistant U.S., Office of the U.S. Attorney, Los Angeles, CA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Kurt J. Mayer, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Office of the Federal Public Defender, Los Angeles, CA, for Defendant Appellant.

Before: FERNANDEZ, GOULD, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM **

Armando Torres-Navarette appeals from the 30-month sentence imposed after his guilty-plea conviction for being an illegal alien found in the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Torres-Navarette contends the district court procedurally erred by, among other things, departing upward pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3 for under-represented criminal history. The district court did not err in imposing Torres-Navarette’s sentence. See United States v. Mohamed, 459 F.3d 979, 986 (9th Cir.2006); see also United States v. Higuera-Llamos, 574 F.3d 1206, 1212 (9th Cir.2009).

Torres-Navarette also contends his sentence is substantively unreasonable. In light of the totality of the circumstances of this case and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, the sentence is substantively reasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc) (appellate courts are to give due deference to the district court’s decision *816that the § 3553(a) factors, on a whole, justify the extent of the variance).

AFFIRMED.
