PER CURIAM.

Following a conviction for robbery affecting interstate commerce under the

Hobb’s Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1951(a), and gun charges under 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g) and

924(c), Defendant Robert Wilson Jr. was sentenced to life imprisonment under the

three-strikes provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3559(c). On appeal, we affirmed as to most

matters but reversed the application of § 3559(c) and remanded for resentencing.

United States v. Dobbs, 449 F.3d 904 (8th Cir. 2006). On remand, the district court1

sentenced Wilson at the bottom of an uncontested Sentencing Guidelines range of 360

months to life. In addition, the district court imposed a mandatory, consecutive 84

month sentence under § 924(c)(1)(A)(ii), bringing Wilson’s total sentence to 444

months’ imprisonment. This sentence was identical to that of his co-defendant in the

robbery who had a less extensive criminal history.

Wilson appeals, arguing only that his sentence is unreasonable under United

States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). We find his arguments to be without merit.

The district court adequately considered the relevant sentencing factors under 18

U.S.C. § 3553(a), and we affirm in accordance with Eighth Circuit Rule of Appellate

Procedure 47B.
