 8        Appeal from sentence imposed by the United States
 9   District Court for the Southern District of New York
10   (Kaplan, J.).
11
12        UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED
13   AND DECREED that the district court’s sentence be AFFIRMED.
14
15        Jason Foxworth challenges his 68-month prison sentence,
16   which was imposed by the United States District Court for
17   the Southern District of New York after Foxworth was
18   convicted of bank fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
19   We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying
20   facts, the procedural history, and the issues presented for
21   review.
22
23        Appellate review of a district court’s sentence has two
24   components: procedural review and substantive review.
25   United States v. Cavera, 550 F.3d 180, 189 (2d Cir. 2008)
26   (in banc). If the appellate court finds no procedural
27   error, the substantive review is done under an abuse-of-
28   discretion standard. Id. at 187 (citing Gall v. United
29   States, 552 U.S. 38, 46 (2007)). Under the abuse-of-
30   discretion standard, an appellate court will vacate the
31   district court’s sentence only in “exceptional cases where
32   the trial court’s decision ‘cannot be located within the
33   range of permissible decisions.’” Cavera, 550 F.3d at 189
34   (quoting United States v. Rigas, 490 F.3d 208, 238 (2d Cir.
35   2007)).
36
37        Concluding that the district court committed no
38   procedural error and that the 68-month sentence it imposed
39   was reasonable and well within “the range of permissible
40   decisions,” we hereby AFFIRM the sentence.

42                              FOR THE COURT:
