Marc Vadnais appeals his 180-month sentence, imposed within the
applicable guideline range, after pleading guilty to one count of receipt of child
pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(2). We review the reasonableness
of a sentence under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard. Gall v. United
States, 552 U.S. 38, 41, 128 S.Ct. 586, 591, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). In
determining substantive reasonableness, we examine the totality of the
circumstances, including an evaluation of whether the statutory factors in
§ 3553(a) support the sentence. United States v. Gonzalez, 550 F.3d 1319, 1324
(11th Cir. 2008).
We are satisfied, on this record, that the district court’s decision to impose a
180-month sentence was substantively reasonable. The record clearly shows that
Vadnais’s sentence was appropriate to comport with the purposes of § 3553(a)(2).
His sentence is within the Guidelines and furthermore, it reflects the seriousness of
his offense and the evidence of postsentencing rehabilitation.
AFFIRMED.
