1Opinion of the Court

LOKEN, Circuit Judge.

Eduardo Mejia-Perez, a citizen of Mexico previously removed from the United States four times, illegally reentered in October 2008. He came to the attention of immigration officials in November 2009 after being arrested for drunk driving in South Dakota. Mejia-Perez was charged with and pleaded guilty to illegal reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). The district court 1 sentenced him above the advisory guidelines range to twenty months in prison. Mejia-Perez appeals, arguing the sentence is unreasonable. We affirm.
