Upon careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion
in sentencing Dickson. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir.
2009) (en banc) (sentences are reviewed for substantive reasonableness under
deferential abuse-of-discretion standard; abuse of discretion occurs when court fails
to consider relevant factor, gives significant weight to improper or irrelevant factor,
or commits clear error of judgment in weighing appropriate factors); United States
v. Mangum, 625 F.3d 466, 469-70 (8th Cir. 2010) (upward variance is reasonable
where court “makes an individualized assessment based on facts presented” (cleaned
up)); United States v. Cloud, 956 F.3d 985, 988 (8th Cir. 2019) (rejecting argument
that district court considered improper factor where it was unclear if district court
considered factor at all, and review of record confirmed court did not afford it
significant weight). Accordingly, we affirm.
