Lacson

MEMORANDUM **

Alfonso Lacson, Jr. appeals his 30-month sentence imposed after he pled guilty to one count of securities fraud. 1 Lacson contends that the sentencing judge *752 violated 18 U.S.C. § 3553 (a) by not adequately considering the factors listed in § 3553(a). We have jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. § 3742 (a) to review a sentence imposed within the appropriate Guideline range. See United States v.

We review Lacson's 30-month sentence for reasonableness. United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 261 , 125 S.Ct. 738 , 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). At the sentencing hearing, the district court weighed the Sentencing Guidelines range of 30 to 37 months and considered other 18 U.S.C. § 3553 (a) sentencing factors, noting that the conduct of the defendant and the harm caused to many people did not justify a sentence below the applicable Guidelines range.

“To comply with the requirements of Booker , the district court must have sufficiently considered the Guidelines as well as the other factors listed in § 3553(a).” United States v. Knows His Gun, 438 F.3d 913, 918…
