MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Armando Baltazar-Garcia appeals from the district court's order, following a limited remand pursuant to United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc), concluding that it would not have imposed a materially different sentence had it known that the Sentencing Guidelines were advisory. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Baltazar-Garcia contends that his sentence is unreasonable because the district court failed to consider the factors contained in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). However, the district court considered the sentence upon limited remand and determined that it would not have imposed a materially different sentence under an advisory Guidelines system. We conclude that under any standard of review this sentence is reasonable.

AFFIRMED.
