Frier first contends that the district court did not consider her mitigating
arguments. The record belies this contention. Frier next contends that the sentence
is substantively unreasonable in light of her history and characteristics. The
district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Frier’s sentence. See Gall v.
United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). The low-end Guidelines sentence is
substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and
the totality of the circumstances, including Frier’s criminal history and the need to
protect the public. See id.
AFFIRMED.
