Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
________________________
(June 5, 2014)
Before WILSON, PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 13-15789
Date Filed: 06/05/2014
Page: 2 of 2
Ifanise Petit-Frere appeals her sentence of 41 months of imprisonment
following her guilty plea to reentry of a deported alien, 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2).
Petit-Frere argues that her sentence at the low end of the advisory guideline range
is substantively unreasonable. We affirm.
We review the reasonableness of a sentence under a deferential standard for
abuse of discretion. Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 41, 128 S. Ct. 586, 591
(2007).
Petit-Frere’s sentence is reasonable. Although Petit-Frere argues that the
district court failed to give adequate consideration to her history and characteristics
and the nature and circumstances of her offense, the district court stated that it was
imposing a sentence at the lowest end of the advisory guideline range because of
her personal hardships. Petit-Frere also argues that the district court placed undue
weight upon the advisory guideline range and her criminal history, but the record
establishes that the district court considered both these and other required factors in
its sentencing determination. 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). And the weight given to any
sentencing factor is committed to the sound discretion of the district court. The
district court committed no abuse of its discretion.
AFFIRMED.
