MEMORANDUM **

Christopher Ralph Marquis appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 48-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for possession of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(5)(B). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Marquis contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of his mitigating circumstances. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Marquis’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The below-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the nature of the offense and the need to afford adequate deterrence. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.

AFFIRMED.
