Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi USDC No. 3:24-CR-138-1 ______________________________

Before Clement, Southwick, and Oldham, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam: * Lacyrus Green pleaded guilty to federal carjacking in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2119.

No. 25-60474

The sole issue today is whether Green’s sentence was substantively unreasonable based on the upward variance. On review, we say no: The district court did not abuse its discretion. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007); United States v. Diehl, 775 F.3d 714, 724 (5th Cir. 2015). AFFIRMED.
