UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 06-4711
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
RONALD OLSHINSKI,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle
District of North Carolina, at Durham. William L. Osteen, Senior
District Judge. (1:05-cr-00289-WLO)
Submitted: December 20, 2006 Decided: January 26, 2007
Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Thomas N. Cochran, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Greensboro,
North Carolina, for Appellant. Anna Mills Wagoner, United States
Attorney, Douglas Cannon, Assistant United States Attorney,
Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Ronald Olshinski pled guilty to one count of knowingly
possessing child pornography that had been transported in
interstate commerce, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(5)(B) and
(b)(2) (2000). The district court sentenced him to one hundred
months’ imprisonment. Olshinski appeals his sentence on the ground
that it is unreasonable. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
After United States v. Booker,
543 U.S. 220 (2005), a
district court is no longer bound by the range prescribed by the
sentencing guidelines. However, in imposing a sentence
post-Booker, courts must still calculate the applicable guideline
range after making the appropriate findings of fact and consider
the range in conjunction with other relevant factors under the
guidelines and 18 U.S.C.A. § 3553(a) (West 2000 & Supp. 2006).
United States v. Moreland,
437 F.3d 424, 432 (4th Cir.), cert.
denied,
126 S. Ct. 2054 (2006). We will affirm a post-Booker
sentence if it is both reasonable and within the statutorily
prescribed range.
Id. at 433. “[A] sentence within the proper
advisory Guidelines range is presumptively reasonable.” United
States v. Johnson,
445 F.3d 339, 341 (4th Cir. 2006).
Here, the district court sentenced Olshinski post-Booker,
appropriately treated the guidelines as advisory, and considered
the § 3553(a) factors. Hence, we reject Olshinski’s contention
that the district court applied erroneous legal standards in
- 2 -
determining his sentence. Olshinski’s one hundred month sentence
falls within the calculated guideline range, and the sentence is
well within the ten-year statutory maximum. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 2252A(b)(2). Therefore, we find that the sentence is reasonable.
Accordingly, we affirm Olshinski’s sentence. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
