United States Seventh Circuit
US v. Mantanes, 10-1590
District court's imposition of a 210-month sentence upon a defendant for child pornography related crime is affirmed where: 1) a district court need not discuss all the section 3553(a) factors, but it must give them meaningful consideration, and here, the district judge adequately considered the section 3553(a) factors in explicitly mentioning his consideration of the seriousness of the offense, the need for deterrence, the need to protect the pubic, and defendant's personal characteristics and the need for sex offender treatment; and 2) defendant cannot overcome the presumption of reasonableness of his sentence.
