United States v. Tommie J. Quinn
Opinion
Tommie J. Quinn appeals his 210-month sentence for receiving and distributing child pornography materials, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(2), (b)(1). On appeal, Quinn argues that his sentence was unreasonable because the district court failed to adequately consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. Quinn contends that the court focused primarily on one § 3553(a) factor, the nature and circumstances of his offense, without also consid *872 ering that he had not committed any crimes in the year prior to his self-surrender, that the doctor who examined him opined that he was not a pedophile, and that he had a history of depression.
After careful review, we find that Quinn’s sentence was both proeedurally and substantively reasonable. Gall v. United States, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 586, 597-98, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); United States v. Agbai, 497 F.3d 1226, 1229 (11th Cir. 2007). The court correctly calculated the Guidelines’ range and expressly stated that it had considered the § 3553(a) factors. Furthermore, in imposing the 120-month sentence—at the low end of the Guidelines’ range—the court provided a reasoned basis for imposing Quinn’s sentence. Thus, we affirm Quinn’s sentence.
AFFIRMED.
