Jose Guadalupe Chavez-Limas, pro se.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, David C. Bury, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. 4:09-cr-00755-DCB.

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



MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Jose Guadalupe Chavez-Limas appeals from the 46-month sentence imposed following his conviction for re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Chavez-Limas contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because the district court failed to consider the age of his prior conviction under United States v. Amezcua-Vasquez, 567 F.3d 1050 (9th Cir. 2009). In light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, the sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108-09 (9th Cir. 2010) (emphasizing the limited scope of Amezcua-Vasquez).

AFFIRMED.
