PER CURIAM.

Bradley Dean Craig appeals the 87-month prison sentences the district court1

imposed after he pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography. See

18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2)(A), (a)(5)(B). For reversal, Craig argues that the district

court erred in denying his request for a downward variance based on his history of

extensive community service.

-2-

We conclude that Craig’s sentences are not unreasonable. See United States v.

Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 261-62 (2005) (discussing appellate review). The district court

imposed these sentences--which were at the bottom of the applicable Guidelines

range--after properly considering all of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, including

Craig’s history and circumstances. See Rita v. United States, 127 S. Ct. 2456, 2463-

68 (2007) (approving appellate presumption of reasonableness for sentence within

advisory Guidelines range); United States v. Haack, 403 F.3d 997, 1003-04 (8th Cir.

2005) (describing appropriate consideration of § 3553(a) factors). 

Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
