   MEMORANDUM

Serafín Hernandez-Garcia appeals from the 33-month sentence imposed following his conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Hernandez-Garcia contends that the district court improperly departed upward on the basis of criminal history when calculating his Guidelines range, and that the district court failed to provide the requisite reasoned explanation of the departure. This contention is without merit, where the record shows that district did not procedurally érr and “any deviation from the applicable advisory guidelines range will be viewed as an exercise of the district court’s post Booker discretion and reviewed only for reasonableness.” See United States v. Mohamed, 459 F.3d 979, 987 (9th Cir.2006); see also United States v. Ellis, 641 F.3d 411, 421-22 (9th Cir.2011) (affirming that “it is not necessary to consider whether the district court correctly applied U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3 ... [but] only whether the defendant’s ultimate sentence was reasonable”). In light of the totality of the circumstances and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, the sentence is substantively reasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
