    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Michael A. ELLSWORTH, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 07-31058
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Aug. 6, 2008.
    Richard W. Rose, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans, LA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Roma A. Kent, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans, LA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before SMITH, GARZA and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Michael A. Ellsworth appeals the 60-month non-guidelines sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Ells-worth argues for the first time on appeal that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because it reflects the district court’s consideration of a prior conviction for illegal possession of a firearm, for which he asserts he was unrepresented.

When the district court imposes a non-guidelines sentence, we “may consider the extent of the deviation, but must give due deference to the district court’s decision that the [18 U.S.C.] § 3553(a) factors, on a whole, justify the extent of the variance.” Gall v. United States, — U.S.-, 128 S.Ct. 586, 596-97, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). Even if we “might reasonably have concluded that a different sentence was appropriate, [this] is insufficient to justify reversal of the district court.” See id.

We “consider the substantive reasonableness of the sentence imposed under an abuse-of-discretion standard.” Gall, 128 S.Ct. at 597; see United States v. Rodriguez, 523 F.3d 519, 524-25 (5th Cir.2008), petition for cert. filed (June 30, 2008) (No. 08-5101). The district court provided extensive justification for the sentence and concluded that a non-guidelines sentence of 60 months of imprisonment was appropriate. In light of the deferential standard set forth in Gall, 128 S.Ct. at 597-98, we find that the sentence imposed by the district court was not substantively unreasonable or an abuse of discretion.

Ellsworth also argues that the district court was required to provide him with notice before imposing a non-guidelines sentence. As Ellsworth concedes, this argument is foreclosed by circuit precedent. United States v. Mejia-Huerta, 480 F.3d 713, 722-23 (5th Cir.2007), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 2954, — L.Ed.2d-(2008); see also Irizarry v. United States, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 2198, 2202-04,171 L.Ed.2d 28 (2008).

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
