United States v. Pryce

195 F. App'x 638

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

In these consolidated appeals, Robin Landrew Pryce appeals from the 60-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to conspiracy to import marijuana, unlawful importation of marijuana, improper entry into the United States, and failure to appear, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(2), 18 U.S.C. § 3146(a)(1), and 21 U.S.C. §§ 952, 960. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review the sentence for reasonableness, see United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 260-64, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), and we affirm.

Pryce contends that his sentence is unreasonable and that the district court failed to take into account all of the relevant considerations. His contention fails. To comply with the requirements of Booker, the district court must consider the Sentencing Guidelines and the factors listed in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See United States v. Knows His Gun, 438 F.3d 913, 918 (9th Cir.2006). However, this “does not necessitate a specific articulation of each factor separately, but rather a showing that the district court considered the statutorily-designated factors in imposing a sentence.” See Knows His Gun, 438 F.3d at 918. Here, the district court properly considered both the advisory Sentencing Guidelines and the § 3553(a) factors, specifically, seriousness of the actual offense behavior and public protection. See id.

AFFIRMED.
