1Opinion of the Court
BOOCHEVER, Circuit Judge:
Justina Martinez-Gonzalez appeals her sentence of 27 months imposed following conviction on a guilty plea to conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(B) & (C) and 18 U.S.C. § 371. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.
I
Martinez-Gonzalez argues that the district court erred in departing upward by two levels from her base offense level of thirteen due to the sophistication of her smuggling organization and the large numbers of aliens involved.
