UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
MARK MATA
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:05-CR-075-20
Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mark Mata appeals the 168-month prison sentence imposed following his
of conviction of one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, marijuana, and
methamphetamine. Mata contends that the district court infringed his Sixth
Amendment rights and erred by sentencing him based on its own factual
findings. Mata also challenges the presumption of reasonableness that attaches
to a within-guidelines sentence. These arguments are foreclosed. See Rita v.

No. 06-11021
2
United States, 127 S. Ct. 2456, 2462 (2007); United States v. Alonzo, 435 F.3d
551, 553 (5th Cir. 2006); United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 519 (5th Cir.
2005).
Mata argues that his sentence is unreasonable because the district court
did not give sufficient weight to certain sentencing factors. Mata has failed to
show error in connection with his sentence, which was the result of a downward
departure imposed in accordance with the Sentencing Guidelines. See United
States v. Smith, 440 F.3d 704, 706-07 (5th Cir. 2006).
Mata has shown no error in connection with the district court’s judgment.
Consequently, that judgment is AFFIRMED. The Government’s motion for
summary affirmance, dismissal of the appeal, or an extension of time to file a
brief is DENIED.
