UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 10-50567

Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 3:10-cr-01247-L

v.

MEMORANDUM *

JOSE JASSO-ESTRADA,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California M. James Lorenz, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted September 27, 2011 **

Before: SILVERMAN, W. FLETCHER, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

Jose Jasso-Estrada appeals from the 30-month sentence imposed following

his guilty-plea conviction for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of

8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Jasso-Estrada contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. In

light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing

factors, the bottom-of-the-Guidelines sentence is not substantively unreasonable.

See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).

Jasso-Estrada’s contention that Nijhawan v. Holder, ___ U.S. ___, 129 S. Ct.

2294 (2009), overruled Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224 (1998),

is foreclosed by United States v. Valdovinos-Mendez, 641 F.3d 1031, 1035-36 (9th

Cir. 2011).

AFFIRMED.
