MEMORANDUM

Elsa Roquez de Quevedo appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 30-month sentence imposed following her guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Roquez de Quevedo contends that the district court’s characterization of her pri- or drug offenses as involving “sophisticated” conduct was erroneous and resulted in a substantively unreasonable sentence. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Roquez de Quevedo’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The record supports the district court’s characterization of Roquez de Quevedo’s conduct. The below-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Roquez de Quevedo’s criminal history and prior deportations. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.

AFFIRMED.
