Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Alabama
_________________________
(December 21, 2006)
Before TJOFLAT, HULL and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Oluyomi Oshinaike appeals his sentence of 41 months of imprisonment for
his convictions on two counts of executing and attempting to execute bank fraud,
18 U.S.C. §§ 1344 and 2. Oshinaike argues that his sentence was unreasonable and
that the district court violated the Sixth Amendment when it made factual findings
to enhance Oshinaike’s guideline range. We affirm.
We review a sentence for reasonableness in the light of the factors delineated
in section 3553(a). United States v. Martin,
455 F.3d 1227, 1237 (11th Cir. 2006).
“[W]hen the district court imposes a sentence within the advisory Sentencing
Guidelines range, we ordinarily will expect that choice to be a reasonable one.”
United States v. Talley,
431 F.3d 784, 788 (11th Cir. 2005). We review the
application of the sentencing guidelines by the district court de novo and review
findings of fact for clear error. United States v. Crawford,
407 F.3d 1174, 1177-78
(11th Cir. 2005).
Oshinaike first argues that the district imposed an unreasonable sentence
because the district court did not consider all the relevant section 3553(a) factors
before imposing a sentence, treated the guideline range as presumptively
appropriate, imposed a sentence greater than necessary in the light of the section
3553(a) factors, and failed to provide an adequate explanation of its reasons for
imposing the sentence. These arguments fail. A review of the sentencing
transcript reveals that the district court considered the arguments of Oshinaike for a
2
non-guideline sentence and the relevant section 3553(a) factors when it concluded
that a sentence at the low-end of the guideline range was appropriate. Although
the district court was not required to discuss each factor or state on the record that
it had considered each factor,
Talley, 431 F.3d at 786, the district court explained
that it considered the sentence appropriate based on the seriousness of the offense,
Oshinaike’s role in the offense, and Oshinaike’s failure to accept responsibility
before trial. The district court also rejected the recommendation of the government
to sentence Oshinaike at the high-end of the guideline range.
Oshinaike argues second that the district court erred when it enhanced his
sentence based on facts that were not admitted by Oshinaike, found by a jury, or
proved beyond a reasonable doubt. This argument is foreclosed by our precedent.
When the sentencing guidelines are applied in an advisory fashion, the district
court does not err when it uses extra-verdict enhancements, found by a
preponderance of the evidence, to calculate a defendant’s sentence. United States
v. Chau,
426 F.3d 1318, 1323 (11th Cir. 2005); United States v. Rodriguez,
393
F.3d 1291, 1296 (11th Cir. 2005).
Oshinaike’s sentence is
AFFIRMED.
