Text: BOYCE F. MARTIN, JR., Circuit Judge. Our prior opinion in this case is withdrawn. [1] John S. Brown appeals his 144 month sentence for possession of crack and powder cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug crime, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. On appeal, he argues that his sentence should be vacated because it was imposed without a presentence report. We find that the district court properly exercised its discretion to impose a sentence without a presentence report under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32(c)(1)(A)(ii) and U.S. SENTENCING GUIDELINES MANUAL § 6A1.1 (a)(2). Finding Brown's sentence to have been imposed in a procedurally reasonable manner, we AFFIRM.
