EDITH BROWN CLEMENT, Circuit Judge:
Jorge Alberto Good McLauling challenges on appeal the district court's multiple-count adjustment. For the following reasons, we AFFIRM.
Federal agents arrested McLauling in 2012 for illegal re-entry by a previously deported alien. Following his arrest, agents searched his apartment and found a revolver. McLauling admitted that he owned the gun. After indictment McLauling pleaded guilty in 2013, without a plea agreement, to (1) being found unlawfully present in the United States after deportation following conviction of a felony offense, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(1) ("count one"), and (2) being an alien unlawfully present in the United States and in possession of a firearm previously transported in interstate or foreign commerce, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(5), 924(a)(2) ("count two").
The PSR
At sentencing, McLauling objected to the multiple-count adjustment, arguing that the offenses should be grouped pursuant to § 3D1.2 of the Sentencing Guidelines. The Government countered that the two offenses were separate and unrelated. The district court agreed with the Government, and overruled McLauling's objection. The district court sentenced McLauling to 46 months imprisonment on counts one and two, to be served concurrently, a two-year term of supervised release on each count, also to be served concurrently, and a $100 per count mandatory special assessment, which was remitted on the government's motion. The district court did not order payment of a fine. McLauling appealed.
On appeal, McLauling reurges his argument that the district court erred by not grouping the offenses under § 3D1.2 of the Guidelines. Section 3D1.2 of the Guidelines provides that:
Given the language of § 3D1.2, McLauling argues that his offenses should be grouped because (1) they "involve[d] substantially the same harm," and (2) occurred as part of "the same act or transaction."
In addition to the dispute regarding § 3D1.2, the parties also contest the proper standard of review. It is unnecessary to address the parties' dispute regarding the standard of review since under any standard of review McLauling cannot show that the district court erred.
First, with respect to McLauling's argument that the district court erred because his offenses "involve[d] substantially the same harm," we agree with every other circuit court that has addressed the issue that an unlawful reentry offense and a § 992(g) offense should not be grouped as they harm different societal interests. See, e.g., United States v. Jimenez-Cardenas, 684 F.3d 1237, 1240 (11th Cir.2012); United States v. Herrera-Gonzalez, No. 06-5230, 2007 WL 2348668, *1 (4th Cir. Aug. 15, 2007); United States v. Perez-Alejo, 56 Fed.Appx. 293, 293 (8th Cir. 2003); United States v. Herrera, 265 F.3d 349, 353 (6th Cir.2001); United States v. Salgado-Ocampo, 159 F.3d 322, 328 (7th Cir.1998); United States v. Baeza-Suchil, 52 F.3d 898, 900 (10th Cir.1995); United States v. Barron-Rivera, 922 F.2d 549, 555 (9th Cir.1991). As we observed in United States v. Agholor, "it seems clear ... that the societal interests affected by illegal re-entry and illegal firearm possession are distinct." 34 Fed.Appx. 962, 2002 WL 663704 at *4 (5th Cir.2002). The criminalization of illegal re-entry "enforce[s] immigration laws," whereas the criminalization of firearm possession by an alien unlawfully in the United States, "protect[s] society from those deemed unqualified to possess firearms." Id.
Second, with respect to McLauling's argument that the offenses should be grouped under § 3D1.2(a) because they involve "the same act or transaction," McLauling overlooks § 3D1.2(a)'s same victim requirement.
We AFFIRM the district court.
