v.
ROBBY LEE CRAWFORD, also known as Robby Crawford
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 6:06-CR-35-4
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, STEWART, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Robby Lee Crawford appeals his within-Guidelines sentence for conspiracy
to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine, and
distribution of methamphetamine. The Government moves for summary
affirmance, or, alternatively, more time to submit its brief.
Crawford argues that the presumption of reasonableness afforded within-
Guidelines sentences following United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511 (5th Cir.

2005), violates United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), and lacks statutory
authority. The Supreme Court recently confuted these arguments in Rita v.
United States, ___ U.S. ___, No. 06-5754, 2007 WL 1772146, at *6 (June 21,
2007), holding that appellate courts “may apply a presumption of reasonableness
to a district court sentence that reflects a proper application of the Sentencing
Guidelines.” Consequently, we infer that the district court considered the
appropriate factors.
Crawford, who has suffered from panic attacks and agoraphobia,
alternatively argues that these conditions render his sentence unreasonable. We
have jurisdiction to “determine whether the district court’s imposition of a
guideline sentence instead of a non-guideline sentence was reasonable.” See
United States v. Nikonova, 480 F.3d 371, 375 (5th Cir. 2006), petition for cert.
filed, No. 06-11834 (U.S. May 21, 2007). Both the presentence report and
relevant medical reports indicate that, at the time of sentencing, Crawford had
no significant mental impairment. Given the entire record, we conclude that
Crawford’s sentence is reasonable, see Booker, 543 U.S. at 262-65; Mares, 402
F.3d at 518-19, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED. The
Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and its motion for
extension of time is DENIED AS UNNECESSARY.
