PER CURIAM:

Oscar Mazaret appeals his 37-month sentence, imposed at the low end of the
advisory guideline range, after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to import
heroin and cocaine into the United States, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 963 (an
offense carrying a 20-year maximum penalty). Mazaret received a longer sentence
than his two co-conspirators; the district court said this difference was due to
Mazaret’s greater criminal history. We see no unwarranted disparity. The district
court considered and rejected Mazaret’s arguments for mitigation in weighing the
18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and did not place undue weight on his criminal history.
See United States v. Kuhlman, 711 F.3d 1321, 1327 (11th Cir. 2013). Mazaret’s
sentence has not been shown to be substantively unreasonable.
AFFIRMED.
