   MEMORANDUM

Wilfredo Torres-Valenzuela appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to being a deported alien found in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Torres-Valenzuela contends that his 30-month sentence was substantively unreasonable. In light of the totality of the circumstances and the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), the sentence at the low end of the Guidelines range was reasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

Torres-Valenzuela’s contention that Nijhawan v. Holder, 557 U.S. 29, 129 S.Ct. 2294, 174 L.Ed.2d 22 (2009), overruled Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998), is foreclosed by United States v. Valdovinos-Mendez, 641 F.3d 1031, 1035-36 (9th Cir.2011).

AFFIRMED.
