OPINION
_________________________
JANE B. STRANCH, Circuit Judge. Eduardo Perez-Rodriguez, a citizen of Mexico, was
sentenced to 24 months in prison for one count of illegal reentry in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.
The district court applied an upward variance that more than doubles the middle of his 8- to
14-month Guidelines range. Perez-Rodriguez challenges the substantive reasonableness of the
upward variance and argues that the district court considered facts outside the record in selecting
his sentence. Because Perez-Rodriguez’s sentence was substantively unreasonable, we
REVERSE the district court’s judgment and REMAND for resentencing. |
