United States v. Elsa Roquez De Quevedo

MEMORANDUM

Elsa Roquez de Quevedo appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 30-month sentence imposed following her guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 . We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.

Roquez de Quevedo contends that the district court’s characterization of her pri- or drug offenses as involving “sophisticated” conduct was erroneous and resulted in a substantively unreasonable sentence. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Roquez de Quevedo’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 , 128 S.Ct. 586 , 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The record supports the district court’s characterization of Roquez de Quevedo’s conduct. The below-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553 (a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Roquez de Quevedo’s criminal history and prior deportations. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51 , 128 S.Ct. 586 .

AFFIRMED.
