UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Johnny L. LEWIS, Defendant-Appellant, 206 F. App'x 396

PER CURIAM: Johnny L. Lewis appeals his sentence for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Lewis argues that the district court effectively imposed a mandatory sentence under the Guidelines. Lewis concedes that the district court did not believe that the Guidelines were binding. Because Lewis was not erroneously sentenced under a mandatory sentencing guideline scheme and because the district court did not consider the Guidelines to be mandatory, Lewis’s argument lacks merit. Lewis also contends that his sentence was unreasonable because the district court failed to weigh the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(

a) factors on the record. He does not challenge the calculation of his guideline sentencing range. Because Lewis’s sentence was within the properly calculated guideline range of 10 to 16 months, we infer that the district court considered all the factors for a fair sentence set forth in the Guidelines. See United States v. Alonzo, 435 F.3d 551, 554 (5th Cir.2006); United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 519 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 126 S.Ct. 43, 163 L.Ed.2d 76 (2005). Lewis has failed to demonstrate that his properly calculated guideline sentence was unreasonable.

See Alonzo, 435 F.3d at 554; Mares, 402 F.3d at 519. AFFIRMED. Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
