Filed November 3, 2016.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Wesley Hendrix , Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Jerry Van Beard, Esq. , Assistant Federal Public Defender, Kevin Joel Page , Federal Public Defender's Office, Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, David E.

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.


Felipe Martinez Ramirez was convicted of one count of producing child pornography and was sentenced to serve 210 months in prison and ten years on supervised release. In the sole issue raised in this appeal, he argues that his sentence is procedurally and substantively unreasonable because U.S.S.G. § 2G2.1 lacks an empirical basis.
