Alex Landon, Esq., San Diego, CA, for Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Dana M. Sabraw, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. CR-06-00171-DMS.

Before: TROTT, W. FLETCHER, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.



MEMORANDUM

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


Mario Marin-Palafox appeals from the 70-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm the sentence and remand to correct the judgment.

We reject Marin-Palafox's contention that disparity between his non-fast-track sentence and the fast-track sentences imposed on other defendants in the Southern District of California rendered his sentence unreasonable. See United States v. Martial-Santiago, 447 F.3d 715, 718-19 (9th Cir. 2006) (concluding that the disparity between fast-track sentences and non-fast-track sentences is not unwarranted). We conclude that Marin-Palafox's sentence was not unreasonable. See United States v. Plouffe, 445 F.3d 1126, 1131-32 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 547 U.S. 1158, 126 S.Ct. 2314, 164 L.Ed.2d 832 (2006).

In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir. 2000), we remand the case to the district court with instructions that it delete from the judgment the incorrect reference to § 1326(b). See United States v. Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir. 2000) (remanding sua sponte to delete the reference to § 1326(b)).

AFFIRMED; REMANDED with instructions to correct the judgment.
