UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jose Luis PADILLA-VAZQUEZ, Defendant-Appellant, 548 F. App'x 401

MEMORANDUM Jose Luis Padilla-Vazquez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his 48-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326; and fraud and misuse of an entry document, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1546(a). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Padilla-Vazquez contends that the district court procedurally erred by imposing a sentence based on clearly erroneous facts.

Specifically, he contends that the court’s finding that he received written warnings in Spanish notifying him of the consequences of returning to the United States following his deportation was without support in the record. We review for plain error, see United States v. Waknine, 543 F.3d 546, 551 (9th Cir.2008), and find none. The district court reasonably concluded that Padilla-Vazquez was warned of the consequences of coming back to the United States. See United States v.

Gust, 405 F.3d 797, 799 (9th Cir.2005) (“So long as the district court’s view of the evidence is plausible in light of the record viewed in its entirety, it cannot be clearly erroneous[.]”) (internal quotations omitted). Furthermore, the record reflects that the court based the sentence on Padilla-Vazquez’s criminal history and the need to protect the public and afford adequate deterrence. Padilla-Vazquez has not demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that the below-Guidelines sentence would have been different absent the alleged error. See Waknine, 543 F.3d at 553. AFFIRMED.
