Before WOLLMAN, HANSEN, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Gerald Haley pled guilty to one count of bank robbery, a violation of 18 U.S.C.
§ 2113(a). The district court1 sentenced him to 210 months’ imprisonment, three
years of supervised release, and a mandatory assessment of $100. Haley appeals his
sentence as unreasonable. We affirm.

       We review a district court’s sentence for reasonableness, applying an abuse-of-
discretion standard. United States v. Robinson, 

, 717 (8th Cir. 2008).

      1
        The Honorable Donald J. Stohr, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
A sentence is procedurally unreasonable if the district court, inter alia, “fail[ed] to
consider the § 3553(a) factors, . . . or fail[ed] to adequately explain the chosen
sentence.” 

v. United States, 

, 597 (2007)). A sentence
is substantively unreasonable if, considering the totality of the circumstances, we
conclude that the district court has “committ[ed] a clear error of judgment by arriving
at a sentence that lies outside the limited range of choice dictated by the facts of the
case.” United States v. Haack, 

, 1004 (8th Cir. 2005); see Gall, 128 S.
Ct. at 597. A sentence within the Guidelines range is accorded a presumption of
substantive reasonableness on appeal. 

.

       Haley argues that the district court failed to properly consider and articulate the
sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). To “properly analyze[] the
relevant sentencing factors,” a district court is not required to provide a “full opinion
in every case,” but must “set forth enough to satisfy the appellate court that he has
considered the parties’ arguments and has a reasoned basis for exercising his own
legal decisionmaking authority.” 

(quoting 

). In determining whether a district court has adequately explained its reasons
for imposing a particular sentence, the context for the appellate court’s review is the
entire sentencing record, not merely the district court’s statements at the hearing. 

argues that his sentence, which is at the top of the sentencing range
recommended by the Guidelines, is unsupported by the facts of his case.

        Haley’s plea agreement stipulated that the parties would request that he be
sentenced within the applicable Guidelines range. The district court was not bound
by the terms of the plea agreement, however, and the presentencing report suggested
that an upward departure might be in order because Haley’s criminal history indicated
a lifetime of recidivism and violent crime. Thus, Haley’s arguments at the sentencing
hearing were presented primarily as resisting any upward departure and only
secondarily as arguments for a sentence at the lower end of the Guidelines range. See
Sent. Tr. at 4-6. Haley argued for leniency on the basis of his remorse, his family, his

                                           -2-
cooperation with authorities, and his use of an air pistol rather than a firearm in the
commission of the bank robbery.

       After hearing all of Haley’s arguments, the district court stated:

       Based upon the serious nature of the instant offense, which involved a
       bank robbery in which the defendant used a dangerous weapon, and in
       consideration of defendant’s significant criminal history which includes
       five crimes of violence, including a previous bank robbery, murder, and
       attempted murder, and the defendant was on parole for a crime of
       violence at the time he committed the instant offense, the following
       sentence would seem to address the sentencing objectives of punishment,
       general deterrence, and incapacitation.

Sent. Tr. at 8.

       We are satisfied that the district court was familiar with Haley’s history,
characteristics, and conduct and that it took those factors into account as it considered
Haley’s arguments and imposed sentence. Haley’s criminal history gives the lie to his
contention that the district court gave inadequate consideration to the § 3553(a)
factors. Accordingly, we conclude that the sentence, which falls within the agreed-
upon Guidelines range, is not unreasonable.

       The judgment is affirmed.
