. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURI AM: In a prior appeal, we remanded this case for resentencing, having determined that the district court failed to provide an individualized explanation for its determination that a 235

- month sentence was an appropriate sentence to impose on Richard Ol islager following his guilty plea to receiving child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a) (2006)
. On remand, the district court again sentenced Olislager to 235 months, the bottom of the properly calculated advisory guideline range. Olislager again appeals. His attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that, in his view, there are no meritorious issues for appeal, but questioning whether the sentence imposed was unreasonable because the district court did not consider all of the sentencing factors, see 18 U.S.C. § 35 53(a) (2006) , and asserting that the Government, by explaining the error that led to its agreement to make a sentencing recommendation, undermined the recommendation and thus breached the plea agreement. Olislager filed a pro se brief challenging two enhancements to his offense level determined under the Sentencing Guidelines
. Finding no error, we affirm Olislager’s sentence. A sentence is reviewed for reasonableness under an abuse of discretion standard. Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). This review requires consideration of both the3 procedural and substantive reasonableness of a sentence. Id. ;

see United States v. L ynn , 592 F.3d 572, 575 (4th Cir. 2010)
. After deter mining whether the district court properly calculated the defendant’s advisory guideline range, this c ourt must decide whether the district court considered the § 3553(a) factors, analyzed the argu ments presented by the parties, and sufficiently explained the selected sentence. Gall , 552 U.S. at 51; see United States v. Carter , 564 F.3d 325, 330 (4th Cir. 2009) (holding that, while the “individualized assessment need not be elaborate or lengthy, .
. . it must provide a rationale tailored to the particular case . . . and [be] adequate to permit meaningful appellate review”). If the sentence is free of significant procedural error, the appellate court reviews the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. United States v. Pauley , 511 F.3d 468, 473 (4th Cir . 2007). In his pro se brief, Olislager contends that his sentence is unreasonable because his offense level was enhanced based on the use of a computer for possession, transmission, receipt or distribution of materials, and also for a pattern of activit y that involved sexual abuse or exploitation of a minor, relying on Olislager’s prior conviction and pending state court charges, that were subsequently dismissed. In Olislager’s prior appeal, our Anders review included a review of the d etermination of Ol islager’s advisory Guidelines range , and we found no error4 in the application of the enhancement Olislager now challenges. Olislager’s challenges to the sentencing enhancements are barred from this court’s consideration, under the mandate rule. United
St ates v. Bell , 5 F.3d 64, 66 (4th Cir. 1993) (stating that the mandate rule “forecloses relitigation of issues expressly or impliedly decided by the appellate court[,]” as well as “issues decided by the district court but foregone on appeal”). Counsel contends that Olislager’s sentence is procedurally unreasonable because the district court did not consider all of the § 3553(a) factors, especially, the history and personal characteristics of the Defendant. While the sentencing court is required to cons ider the factors in § 3553(a), it need not robotically tick through each subsection of § 3553(a). See United States v. Johnson , 445 F.3d 339, 345 (4th Cir. 2006) . Here, t he court noted that Olislager has a history of predatory sexual conduct and that h e is a recidivist
. In light of the likelihood of future conduct and the need to protect the public, the court declined Olislager’s request and the Government’s recommendation for a sentence below the advisory Guidelines range. The court noted that lenient treatment was not warranted in light of the seriousness of the offense and the danger to the public. By this explanation, we are satisfied that the district court has a “ reasoned basis for exercising [its] own legal decisionmaking authority.” United5 Stat es v. Engle , 592 F.3d 495, 500 (4th Cir.) (internal quotation omitted) , cert. denied , 131 S. Ct. 165 (2010)
. We therefore conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the 235

- month sentence

— the bottom of the advisory Guidelin es range . See Gall , 552 U.S. at 41; United States v. Allen , 491 F.3d 178, 193 (4th Cir. 2007) (applying appellate presumption of reasonableness to within guidelines sentence). Olislager also contends that the Government breached the plea agreement by m aking the recommendation of a 180

- month sentence, as it agreed to do, but also explaining that the agreement to make the recommendation was inadvertently included in the version of the plea agreement that was signed and filed with the court. T he Supreme C ourt has held that a criminal defendant has no right to an “enthusiastic” recommendation by the prosecutor in order to comply with the term in the plea agreement requiring the prosecutor to make a specific recommendation
. United States v. Benchimol , 471 U .S. 453, 455

- 56 (1985); see United States v. Coleman , 208 F.3d 786, 792 (9th Cir. 2000) (concluding that no breach occurs as long as
Government ’ s recommendation (“however grudgin gly”) occurs before sentencing); United States v. Badaracco , 954 F.2d 928, 9 41 (3d Cir. 1992) ( “government need not endorse the terms of its plea6 agreements enthusiastically” ) (internal quotation marks omitted). Olislager failed to establish that the Government breached its plea agreement. Under the terms of the plea agreement, the Government was obligated to recommend a sentence of 180 months. T he Government satisfied t hi s obligation by making that recommendation to the court at sentencing. Although , in response to inquiry by the court, the Government explained that the prosec utor signed and presented the wrong plea agreement and therefore erred by agreeing to this recommendation, it nonetheless made the recommendation of a 180

- month sentence to the sentencing court, and therefore fulfilled its obligation. The Government’s ex planation did not result in a breach of the plea agreement. In accordance with Anders , we have reviewed the entire relevant to this appeal and have found no meritorious issues. This court requires that counsel inform Olislager, in writing, of the righ t to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If Olislager requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from represent ation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Olislager. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately7 presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional pr ocess.
