United States v. Amanda Frier

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Amanda Frier appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 46-month sentence imposed following her guilty-plea conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, 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.

Frier first contends that the district court did not consider her mitigating arguments. The record belies this contention. Frier next contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of her history and characteristics. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Frier’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The low-end Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including Frier’s criminal history and the need to protect the public. See id.

AFFIRMED.
