UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Derrick Demond BRANCH, also known as Dedrick Demon Branch, Defendant-Appellant, 325 F. App'x 395

PER CURIAM: Derrick Demond Branch appeals his 180-month sentence following his guilty plea conviction for carjacking. See 18 U.S.C. § 2119. Branch argues that the district court erred by imposing a higher non-guidelines sentence based on factors already accounted for in the guidelines calculations. The district court was not precluded from imposing a departure or variance based on factors that the Guidelines had already taken into account. See United States v. Brantley, 537 F.3d 347, 350 (5th Cir.2008); United States v. Williams, 517 F.3d 801, 810-11 (5th Cir.2008). AFFIRMED. Pursuant to 5th Cir.

R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under . the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
