FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS OCT 27 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, No. 09-50546 D.C. No. 3:08-cr-01000-DMS v. MEMORANDUM * JESUS BACA-HERNANDEZ, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Dana M. Sabraw, District Judge, Presiding Submitted October 19, 2010 ** Before: O SCANNLAIN, TALLMAN, and BEA, Circuit Judges. Jesus Baca-Hernandez appeals from the 70-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Baca-Hernandez contends that the district court erred by denying his request for a downward departure for cultural assimilation under U.S.S.G. § 5K2.0. He also contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not procedurally err, and the sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 760-61 (9th Cir. 2008); United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992-94 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc). AFFIRMED. 2 09-50546
