PER CURIAM.
Abiodun Oluwaseye Oladele pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud and
received a sentence of 50 months in prison. Oladele challenges his sentence, arguing

-- 1 of 2 --

that the district court committed procedural error and that his sentence is1
substantively unreasonable. After a careful review of the record, we reject both
arguments, particularly given that the court imposed a below-Guidelines-range
sentence. See United States v. Chavarria-Ortiz, 828 F.3d 668, 671–72 (8th Cir. 2016)
(approving of a similar explanation for a within-Guidelines-range sentence); United
States v. Lazarski, 560 F.3d 731, 733 (8th Cir. 2009) (“[I]t is nearly inconceivable
that the court abused its discretion in [sentencing below the Guidelines and] not
varying downward still further.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
