arguing that it is greater than necessary to satisfy the sentencing goals of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Suzuki’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 46-47, 49-51 (2007); United States v. Nguyen, 854 F.3d 276, 280, 283 (5th Cir. 2017). Nothing in the record reflects that the district court failed to “account for a factor that should have received significant weight” or that it gave “significant weight to an irrelevant or improper factor,” and the sentence does not represent “a clear error of judgment in balancing the sentencing factors.” United States v. Diehl, 775 F.3d 714, 724 (5th Cir. 2015); see United States v. Brantley, 537 F.3d 347, 349-50 (5th Cir. 2008). AFFIRMED.
