sentence is unreasonable.
Bustos was sentenced within the applicable guideline sentencing range,
and his sentence is presumptively reasonable. See United States v. Alonzo, 435
F.3d 551, 554 (5th Cir. 2006). He presented no argument in the district court in
mitigation of sentence. Moreover, that court adequately explained its reasoning
for the sentence. See Rita v. United States, 127 S. Ct. 2456, 2468 (2007). Bustos
has not rebutted the presumption of reasonableness applicable to his within-
guidelines sentence, and the district court did not abuse its discretion. See Gall
v. United States, 128 S. Ct. 586, 597 (2007).
AFFIRMED.
