**

Manuel De Jesus Zamarron-Ruiz appeals from the 70-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for importing cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952(a) and 960(a)(1), and possessing cocaine with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Zamarron-Ruiz contends that the district court erred when it failed to apply a minor role adjustment, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2(b), to his offense level calculation. The district court did not clearly err. See United States v. Murillo, 255 F.3d 1169, 1179 (9th Cir.2001), overruled in part on other grounds; United States v. Lui, 941 F.2d 844, 849 (9th Cir.1991).

Zamarron-Ruiz also contends that the district court improperly presumed that a guidelines sentence was reasonable, the district court failed to consider some of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, and that his sentence is unreasonable. We review these contentions for reasonable ness. The district court did not procedurally err and the sentence is not substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.
