United States v. Bradley D. Craig

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
United States v. Bradley D. Craig, 251 F. App'x 371 (8th Cir. 2007)

United States v. Bradley D. Craig

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

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.
