Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 3:04-CR-1433-2
________________________________________________________________
Before REAVLEY, JOLLY, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Maese-Alarcon challenges the consecutive sentences imposed on
him as unreasonable. Having reviewed the record, including the
April 10, 2006 amendment to the district court’s Final Order of
Judgment and Commitment, we hold that the imposition of consecutive
sentences was within the district court’s discretion and was
reasonable in the light of the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. §
3553(a). See 18 U.S.C. § 3584 (giving the district court
discretion to impose consecutive sentences after consideration of

-- 1 of 2 --

2
the § 3553(a) factors). Consequently, the judgment of the district
court imposing consecutive sentences is
AFFIRMED.
