Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 97-month term of incarceration on bank robbery charges that involved robberies of four banks, even though defendant argued that Dist. Ct. failed to consider his difficult family background and various steps towards rehabilitation taken while in prison. Instant sentence was reasonable in view of fact that applicable guidelines called for sentence within 151 to 188-month range, and record showed that Dist. Ct. actually discussed defendant's background, along with other section 3553(a) factors.
