Opinion

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit

F I L E D
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT May 8, 2007 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 06-30485 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus MOTILALL SUDEEN, also known as Moti Sudeen, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (2:02-CR-62-1) -------------------Before SMITH, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Defendant-Appellant Motilall Sudeen appeals his 120-month term of imprisonment that was imposed following his convictions for conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, wire fraud, travel fraud, and money laundering. Sudeen contends that

the district court reversibly erred by imposing a guidelines sentence without independently determining that the sentencing range was reasonable and without considering all of the sentencing factors listed in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

The

record

reflects

that

the

district

court

implicitly

considered the statutory sentencing factors.

See United States v.

Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 519 (5th Cir. 2005); United States v. Smith, 440 F.3d 704, 707 (5th Cir. 2006). Sudeen has not shown that the

sentence was unreasonable or that we should not defer to the district court's determinations at sentencing. See Mares, 402 F.3d at 519. AFFIRMED.
