for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:06-CR-404-1
Before PRADO, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ever Alexander Amaya-Arias (Amaya) appeals the 29-month sentence
imposed following his guilty plea conviction for illegal reentry following

object in the district court, review is for plain error. See United States v.
Garcia-Rodriguez, 415 F.3d 452, 454 (5th Cir. 2005).
Amaya contends that the offenses at issue were related because he was
sentenced for these two offenses on the same day, albeit under different cause
numbers. When sentences for factually distinct offenses are imposed “on the
same day and/or in the same proceeding,” those offenses are not considered
related under § 4A1.2. United States v. Huskey, 137 F.3d 283, 288 (5th Cir.
1998). The district court did not commit error, plain or otherwise, in
determining that Amaya’s convictions were unrelated for the purpose of
calculating his criminal history.
AFFIRMED.
