United States v. Sanchez, No. 10-20249 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant challenged his 48 month sentence that he received after pleading guilty to the crime of illegal reentry of a previously deported alien following a conviction for an aggravated felony offense. The court held that the district court correctly applied the enhancement where defendant's conviction of attempted sexual assault of a child was a crime of violence within the meaning of U.S.S.G. 2L1.2(b)(1)(A); there was no procedural error where the district court did not fail to explain adequately defendant's sentence; and defendant's sentence was not substantively unreasonable where the district court balanced the 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) factors. Accordingly, the judgment was affirmed.
