United States v. Bradley D. Craig
Opinion
Bradley Dean Craig appeals the 87-month prison sentences the district court 1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography. See 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2)(A), (a)(5)(B). For reversal, Craig argues that the district court erred in denying his request for a downward variance based on his history of extensive community service.
We conclude that Craig’s sentences are not unreasonable. See United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 261-62, 125 S.Ct. *372 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005) (discussing appellate review). The district court imposed these sentences — which were at the bottom of the applicable Guidelines range — after properly considering all of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, including Craig’s history and circumstances. See Rita v. United States, — U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 2456, 2463-68, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007) (approving appellate presumption of reasonableness for sentence within advisory Guidelines range); United States v. Haack, 403 F.3d 997, 1003-04 (8th Cir. 2005) (describing appropriate consideration of § 3553(a) factors).
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
. The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa.
