Blodgett contends that his sentence is unreasonable in light of United States
v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), and 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), because the district court
failed to adequately account for the nature and circumstances of the offense or his
personal background. The record reflects that the district court carefully
considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and provided a well-
reasoned and thorough explanation for the sentence imposed. The district court did
not procedurally err, and the sentence is substantively reasonable under the totality
of the circumstances. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007); see also
United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
