PER CURIAM.
Dawn Robinson appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after she pled
guilty to racketeering and firearm-related offenses. She challenges her sentence as
substantively unreasonable.
1The Honorable Stephen H. Locher, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa.

Upon careful review, we conclude the district court did not impose a
substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455,
461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (abuse of discretion review); see also United States
v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760-61 (8th Cir. 2014) (presuming sentence reasonable
if within United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual range). Accordingly, we
affirm.
