KAREN NELSON MOORE, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
The defendant-appellant’s brief presents the issue on appeal whether the district court’s sentence was substantively unreasonable in its length in light of the relevant facts and 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). This is a typical post-Booker substantive-reasonableness question over which we have jurisdiction, completely distinct from the departure issue addressed by the majority. See, e.g., United States v. McBride, 434 F.3d 470, 474-77 (6th Cir.2006). Therefore, I respectfully dissent.
