Rodrigo Alejandro Morales-Perez appeals from the 70-month sentence imposed upon remand, following his guilty-plea conviction for unlawful reentry of a deported *969 alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1826 . We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.

Because the district court correctly calculated the Guidelines range and took into account the relevant sentencing factors, and because the sentence imposed was not unreasonable, we affirm. See Gall v. United States, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 586 , 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); United States v. Cantrell, 433 F.3d 1269, 1279-80 (9th Cir.2006); United States v.
