UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

PEDRO ALEJANDRO ANCHONDO,

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (3:05-CR-2757-1)

Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Pedro Alejandro Anchondo pleaded guilty to one charge of bank

robbery and was sentenced to 151 months in prison. He contends his

sentence is unreasonable because it was more harsh than his co-

defendant’s and exceeds the sentencing aims of 18 U.S.C. § 3553.

Anchondo’s parity argument is unavailing. See United States

v. Duhon, 440 F.3d 711, 721 (5th Cir. 2006) (“the need to avoid

disparity ... [concerns] similarly-situated defendants nationwide

rather than disparity with [Anchondo’s] differently-situated

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. codefendant”), petition for cert. filed (18 May 2006) (No. 05-

11144). Considering Anchondo’s sentence was at the bottom of the

career-offender guideline’s range, U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1, he fails to

show it was unreasonable under § 3553. See United States v.

Alonzo, 435 F.3d 551, 554 (5th Cir. 2006).
