MEMORANDUM

Jose Chavez-Torres appeals from the 80-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for attempted reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Chavez-Torres contends that the district court unreasonably denied his motion to continue the sentencing hearing for 60 days. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Chavez-Torres’s motion for a continuance. See United States v. Mejia, 69 F.3d 309, 314 (9th Cir.1995).

Chavez-Torres also contends that the district court erred by not granting an additional one-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility. This contention lacks merit. See U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b) cmt. n. 6; United States v. Johnson, 581 F.3d 994,1003-1004 (9th Cir.2009).

AFFIRMED.

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