                                  ____________

Before WOLLMAN, BEAM, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Cecil Aldridge appeals his within-Guidelines-range sentence of 192 months,
following his guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of
18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Aldridge asserts the sentence is substantively unreasonable
because the district court1 failed to adequately consider the sentencing factors set
forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). We have carefully reviewed the record, see United
States v. Borromeo, 657 F.3d 754, 756 (8th Cir. 2011) (reviewing district court's
sentencing decision for an abuse of discretion), and find the district court properly
considered the relevant sentencing factors, see United States v. Blackmon, 662 F.3d
981, 988 (8th Cir. 2011) (finding the district court's § 3553(a) explanation was
sufficient and no particular recitation was necessary), and did not impose an
unreasonable sentence, see United States v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822, 824 (8th Cir.
2009) (applying presumption of substantive reasonableness to sentence within the
Guidelines range). Accordingly, we affirm.
                       ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
