v.

EDMUNDO GUERRERO-GONZALEZ,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 6:14-CR-25-1


Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Edmundo Guerrero-Gonzalez appeals the sentence imposed upon his
illegal reentry conviction. For the first time on appeal, Guerrero-Gonzalez
argues that the 57-month term of imprisonment, which is at the top of the
advisory guidelines range, is substantively unreasonable and that the alcohol
abstinence special condition of supervised release is unreasonable. We review
his arguments for plain error. See Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                 No. 14-11307

(2009); see also United States v. Peltier, 505 F.3d 389, 392 (5th Cir. 2007).
      The within-guidelines sentence is presumptively reasonable. See United
States v. Cooks, 589 F.3d 173, 186 (5th Cir. 2009). Guerrero-Gonzalez has not
demonstrated that the 57-month term of imprisonment failed to account for a
sentencing factor that should have received significant weight. Thus, he has
not rebutted the presumption that the within-guidelines sentence is
reasonable. See Cooks, 589 F.3d at 186.
      Guerrero-Gonzalez argues that the special condition of supervised
release that requires his total abstinence from the use of alcohol is plainly
unreasonable. The Government argues that this issue is not ripe for review.
We conclude that the ripeness issue is governed by United States v. Ellis, 720
F.3d 220, 225-26 (5th Cir. 2013) where we addressed the merits of various
conditions of supervised release, such as prohibitions on use of a computer, but
found the challenge to possible mental health treatment unripe for review
because such treatment may never occur. Here, the challenged condition is
intended to take effect immediately upon release.         Thus, we decline the
Government’s argument that we should extend the reasoning of United States
v. Segura-Resendez, 515 F. App’x 316, 319 (5th Cir. 2013), to this case. See also
United States v. Duke, 788 F.3d 392, 401 (5th Cir. 2015) (“[T]he possibility of
future modification [of a condition of supervised release] has no bearing on
whether the district court abused its discretion today.”); see also 18 U.S.C. §
3624(e); United States v. Garcia-Rodriguez, 640 F.3d 129, 133 (5th Cir. 2011).
      The district court has wide discretion to impose any special condition of
supervised release it considers appropriate, to the extent that such condition
(1) is reasonably related to certain sentencing factors, (2) involves no greater
deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary to meet certain sentencing
purposes; and (3) is consistent with any relevant policy statement. See United

                                 No. 14-11307

States v. Weatherton, 567 F.3d 149, 152-53 (5th Cir. 2009); U.S.S.G. § 5D1.3(b);
18 U.S.C. § 3583(d)(2). As shown by Guerrero-Gonzalez and the Government’s
arguments, whether the district court erred in imposing the alcohol abstinence
special condition is subject to reasonable dispute. Accordingly, in this case,
even if the court erred, any error is not clear or obvious. See Puckett, 556 U.S.
at 135 (“[T]he legal error must be clear or obvious, rather than subject to
reasonable dispute.”); see also United States v. Carrillo, 660 F.3d 914, 930 (5th
Cir. 2011).
      AFFIRMED.
