Heading: The Alleged Failure To Consider the Sentencing Factors

Text: Brown's contention that the district court failed to consider the 3553(a) sentencing factors is meritless. As discussed in Part II.A. above, we have not required a sentencing judge to engage in robotic incantations either to demonstrate that he has discharged his duty to consider the required factors or to address every argument relating to those factors that the defendant advanced. Fernandez, 443 F.3d at 30. In the present case, the record, including those segments quoted in Part I.C. above, reveals that the court was aware both of the statutory requirements and of the recommended sentencing range and that it considered the required factors. Nothing in the record indicates that the court misunderstood the sentencing factors or their relevance.
