Hop contends that his above-Guidelines sentence is substantively
unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Hop’s
sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). Hop’s sentence is
substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and
the totality of circumstances, including the nature and circumstances of the offense,
and the need to protect the public. See id.
AFFIRMED.
