MEMORANDUM **

Maataua Kalapu Manogiamanu appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 120-month sentence for being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Manogiamanu first contends that the district court procedurally erred when it failed to explain why it rejected his request for a lesser sentence given the fact that his acceptance of responsibility did not result in a sentence lower that than the statutory maximum. The record reflects that the district court appropriately considered the 3553(a) factors, and adequately explained why a lesser sentence was not warranted. See Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 359, 127 S.Ct. 2456, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007).

Manogiamanu next contends that the district court procedurally erped by applying a presumption of reasonableness to a Guideline sentence and treated the Guidelines as mandatory. The record belies this contention.

Finally, the record reflects that the sentence imposed is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51-52, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED.
