United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT

No. 06-2903

United States of America, Appellee, Appeal from the United States

v. District Court for the

Northern District of Iowa.

Bradley Dean Craig, [UNPUBLISHED]

Appellant.

Submitted: October 5, 2007

Filed: October 18, 2007

Before MURPHY, SMITH, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Bradley Dean Craig appeals the 87-month prison sentences the district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography. See 18U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2)(A), (a)(5)(B). For reversal, Craig argues that the district court erred in denying his request for a downward variance based on his history of extensive community service. We conclude that Craig's sentences are not unreasonable. See United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 , 261-62 (2005) (discussing appellate review). The district court imposed these sentences--which were at the bottom of the applicable Guidelines range--after properly considering all of the 18U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, including Craig's history and circumstances. See Rita v. United States, 127 S. Ct. 2456, 246368 (2007) (approving appellate presumption of reasonableness for sentence within advisory Guidelines range); United States v. Haack, 403 F.3d 997, 1003-04 (8th Cir. 2005) (describing appropriate consideration of § 3553(a) factors).

Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.

1 The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa.
