Text: When reviewing a sentence, we first consider whether the district court committed significant procedural error. United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc) (citing Gall v. United States, ___ U.S. ____, 128 S.Ct. 586, 597, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007)). Procedural errors include, but are not limited to, incorrectly calculating the Guidelines range, treating the Guidelines as mandatory, failing properly to consider the § 3553(a) factors, using clearly erroneous facts when calculating the Guidelines range or determining the sentence, and failing to provide an adequate explanation for the sentence imposed. Id. We review the district court's interpretation of the Sentencing Guidelines de novo, the district court's application of the Guidelines to the facts for abuse of discretion, and the district court's factual findings for clear error. United States v. Garro, 517 F.3d 1163, 1167 (9th Cir.2008) (citing United States v. Cantrell, 433 F.3d 1269, 1279 (9th Cir.2006)). If we discern no significant procedural error, we proceed to the second step and consider the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. Carty, 520 F.3d at 993 (citing Gall, 128 S.Ct. at 597). We review the substantive reasonableness of a sentence for abuse of discretion. Gall, 128 S.Ct. at 597; Carty, 520 F.3d at 993.
