v.
PARNELL TOMMYLEE BROOME, JR
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:06-CR-224-ALL
Before STEWART, OWEN and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Parnell Tommylee Broome, Jr., was convicted of one count of bank robbery
and was sentenced to serve 169 months in prison. Broome appeals his sentence.
Under the discretionary sentencing system established by United States v.
Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), district courts retain the duty to properly calculate
and consider the applicable sentencing range under the Sentencing Guidelines,
along with the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), when

fashioning a sentence. United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 518-19 (5th Cir.
2005). When reviewing a sentence, we typically consider whether the district
court committed significant procedural error at sentencing and whether the
sentence imposed is substantively reasonable. See Gall v. United States, 128
S. Ct. 586, 594, 597 (2007). Further, the district court’s sentencing decision is
ultimately reviewed for an abuse of discretion. Id. at 594.
Broome argues that the district court committed procedural error at
sentencing by starting at the top of the applicable guidelines range when
choosing his sentence. Our examination of the record shows no significant
procedural error in connection with Broome’s sentence. Accordingly, the
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
