United States v. Randy Blodgett

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Randy Blodgett, 412 F. App'x 935 (9th Cir. 2011)

United States v. Randy Blodgett

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Randy Earl Blodgett appeals from the 97-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for receipt of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Blodgett contends that his sentence is unreasonable in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), and 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), because the district court failed to adequately account for the nature and circumstances of the offense or his personal background. The record reflects that the district court carefully considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and provided a well-reasoned and thorough explanation for the sentence imposed. The district court did not procedurally err, and the sentence is substantively reasonable under the totality of the circumstances. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); see also United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.
