18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and
we affirm.
Holden contends that the district court erred at sentencing by failing to
consider the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and provide an adequate
explanation for his sentence. He also contends that his sentence is unreasonable in
light of his difficult childhood, admission of responsibility, and need for
psychiatric treatment. The record indicates that the district court did not
procedurally err and that Holden’s sentence is substantively reasonable. See Rita v.
United States, 551 U.S. 338, 356-59 (2007); see also United States v. Overton,
573 F.3d 679, 698-701 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
