Shаne Townsend pleaded guilty to bank robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). The district court 1 sentenced Townsend to 151 months’ imprisonment, which included a career offender enhancement. On аppeal, Townsend argues that the district court abused its discretion by imposing an unreasonable sentence. We affirm.
I. Background
On January 8, 2008, police charged Townsend with two counts of bаnk robbery. Both counts involved TCF Bank located in St. Paul, Minnesota. Count 1 of the indictment charged Townsend with robbing a bank on December 5, 2007. Count 2 charged Townsend with a bank *993 robbery that occurred on December 11, 2007.
Townsend pleadеd guilty to Count 1, admitting in his plea agreement that he also committed the bank robbery charged in Count 2. At the time of Townsend’s guilty plea, it was the government’s position that Townsend was a “cаreer offender” under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. Townsend reserved his right to dispute his classification as a career offender.
The presentence investigation report (PSR) classified Townsend as a career offender under § 4B1.1 based on the following three prior convictions for crimes of violence: (1) a 1990 conviction for aiding and abetting simple robbery; (2) a 1992 conviction for attempted aggravated robbery; (3) and a 2000 conviction for aiding and abetting second degree burglary of a dwelling. Accordingly, the PSR determined Townsend’s base offense level to be 32 and applied a three-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility. With a criminal history category VI, Townsend’s resulting Guidelines range was 151 to 188 months.
Townsend requested a sentence of not more than 96 months—the top of the Guidelines range without the career offender enhancement—and the government requested a sеntence within the Guidelines’ range of 151 to 188 months. Neither Townsend nor the government had any objections to the factual statements contained in the PSR, and the district court adoptеd them. However, at sentencing, Townsend raised potentially mitigating facts such as his mental and physical illnesses, 2 his addictions, the lack of violence or a weapon used during thе robbery, and his difficult childhood.
The district court stated that it had reviewed all of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553 factors and orally imposed a sentence of 151 months. The district court then submitted a written statement of reasons outlining the court’s sentencing rationale. The court’s “statement of reasons for imposing sentence” addressed the § 3553(a) factors and the reasons for the сourt’s sentence of 151 months’ imprisonment. The district court noted that Townsend admitted to robbing two banks and that he has a “long criminal history that includes three violent crimes.” The court statеd that it imposed a sentence at the bottom of the Guidelines range because such a sentence “reflects Townsend’s desire to stop using drugs and that his addiction promptеd this criminal conduct.” The court noted that, because the sentence was a Guideline sentence, it “ensures against unwanted sentencing disparities among similarly situated defendants.”
II. Discussion
Townsend argues that his sentence is unreasonable and greater than necessary to accomplish the goals of sentencing set forth in § 3553(a). Townsend contends that the district court abused its discretion when it gave great weight to the Guidelines and Townsend’s criminal history and insufficient weight to important mitigating factors, such as Townsend’s mental illness, physical illness, and the role chemical dependency played in the offense. Townsend does not challenge the imposition of the career offender enhancement.
We review а district court’s interpretation of the Guidelines de novo and its application of the Guidelines to the facts for clear error.
United States v. Rollins,
*994
A district court’s duty is to consider the Guidelines rangе and tailor the sentence in light of other statutory concerns, such as the sentencing factors listed in § 3553(a).
United States v. Spigner,
Section 3553(a) requires that the district court impose a sentence no greater than necessary to account for the nature and seriousness of the offense and the defendant’s history and characteristics, as well as to provide just punishment, to protect the public and to avoid unwanted sentencing disparities. 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).
A sentence may be unreasonable if the district court failed to consider a relevant factor that should have received significant weight, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or considered only аppropriate factors but nevertheless committed a clear error of judgment by imposing a sentence that lies outside of the range dictated by the facts of the сase.
United States v. Walker,
Although a district court is required to consider each of the § 3553(a) factors in determining the proper sentence to impose, it need not “categorically rehearse each of the [§ ] 3553(a) factors on the record when it imposes a sentence as long as it is clear that they were considered.”
United States v. Dieken,
Townsend acknowledges that the district court discussed the § 3553(a) factors in its written “statement of reasons” but maintains that the court gave insufficient weight to several important mitigating facts. Townsend does not argue that the district court weighed the factors in a clearly erroneous way. “The district court has wide latitude to weigh the § 3553(a) factors in each case and assign some factors greater weight than others in determining an appropriate sentence.”
United States v. Bridges,
In this case, the district court considered the § 3553(a) factors in the following written statement:
The sentence imposed takes into considеration the relevant Guidelines and the statutory factors enumerated above. The sentence reflects the seriousness of the offense, promotes respect for the law, and provides just punishment. Townsend has admitted to robbing two banks and has a long criminal history that includes three violent crimes. A sentence of one hundred and fifty one months is therefore necessary to provide adequate deterrence to his criminal conduct and to protect the public against further crimes committed by him. The sentence also provides Townsend suffi *995 cient time to obtain the necessary drug treatment to help him overcome a drug addiction.
The Court imposes a sentence at the bottom of the applicable Guideline range because it takes into account the circumstances of the offense and the characteristics of the defendant. The sentence reflects Townsend’s desire to stop using drugs and that his addiction prompted this criminal conduct.
Finally, the sentence is within the Guideline range and therefore ensures against unwanted sentencing disparities among similarly situated defendants.
Townsend argued extensively for consideration of mitigating factors prior to the court’s imposition of sentence, both in writing and in his allocution. The district court was clearly aware of the facts alleged and took them into account. On this record, Townsend must show more than the fact that the district court disаgreed with his view of what weight ought to be accorded certain sentencing factors. Based upon our review of the record, the district court properly considered the § 3553(a) factors. After considering “the totality of the circumstances, including the extent of the variance from the Guidelines range and giving due deference to the district court’s deсision that the § 3553(a) factors, on the whole, justify the extent of the variance,” we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Townsend to 151 months’ imprisonment and that “no basis [exists] for concluding the sentence is substantively unreasonable.”
United States v. Hill,
III. Conclusion
Accordingly, we affirm.
