Case: 12-16458 Date Filed: 08/08/2013 Page: 1 of 3 [DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 12-16458 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ D.C. Docket No. 1:12-cr-00138-JEC-AJB-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus DANIEL VARGAS-RAMIREZ, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ________________________ (August 8, 2013) Before WILSON, PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Daniel Vargas-Ramirez appeals his sentence of 33 months of imprisonment following his plea of guilty to reentering the United States after being deported. 8  Case: 12-16458 Date Filed: 08/08/2013 Page: 2 of 3 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2). Vargas-Ramirez argues that his sentence is unreasonable. We affirm. Vargas-Ramirez’s sentence is reasonable. Vargas-Ramirez had an extensive criminal history that included six prior convictions for driving under the influence, shoplifting, fleeing to elude a police officer, and various traffic offenses. And Vargas-Ramirez had been removed three times from the United States when officers discovered him again driving under the influence. The district court found “[un]acceptable” that Vargas-Ramirez “ke[pt] entering illegally and disobeying our laws and endangering our citizenry” and reasonably determined that a sentence at the low end of the recommended guidelines range of 33 to 41 months of imprisonment was necessary to promote respect for the law, provide just punishment, deter Vargas-Ramirez from future similar conduct, and to protect the public. 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2). Vargas-Ramirez argues that the district court gave undue deference to the sentencing range that resulted from enhancing his offense level by eight points for being deported after committing a shoplifting offense, see United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2L1.2(b)(1)(c) (Nov. 2011), but the district court took into account the enhancement by imposing a sentence at the low end instead of the high end of the sentencing range. The district court did not abuse its discretion when it sentenced Vargas-Ramirez to a term of 33 months, 2  Case: 12-16458 Date Filed: 08/08/2013 Page: 3 of 3 which was well below the statutory maximum penalty of 20 years of imprisonment. We AFFIRM Vargas-Ramirez’s sentence. 3
