Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
TYRONE D. GOODIN,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 3:04-CR-30040-1
--------------------
Before REAVLEY, GARZA and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Tyrone D. Goodin appeals his guilty-plea conviction and
18-month sentence for possession of an unregistered firearm.
Goodin contends that the district court erred in denying his
motions to suppress. Goodin has waived this issue by entering an
unconditional guilty plea. See United States v. Wise, 179 F.3d
184, 186 (5th Cir. 1999); United States v. Bell, 966 F.2d 914,
916-17 (5th Cir. 1992).
Goodin avers that his sentence was unreasonable and that the
district court erred in declining to depart downward. This court

does not have jurisdiction to review the district court’s denial
of Goodin’s motion for a downward departure. See United States
v. Hernandez, 457 F.3d 416, 424 (5th Cir. 2006).
However, we do have jurisdiction to review “whether the
district court’s imposition of a guideline sentence instead of a
non-guideline sentence was reasonable.” See United States v.
Nikonova, 480 F.3d 371, 375 (5th Cir. 2007). The district court
properly calculated the applicable guideline sentencing range and
considered the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a). See United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 518-20
(5th Cir. 2005). Therefore, Goodin has not shown that the
sentence imposed by the district court was unreasonable. See id.
AFFIRMED.
