Criminal case - Sentencing. District court created an adequate record
at sentencing for the court to conduct a reasonableness review; district
court did not abuse its discretion in considering defendant's gang

exclusive focus to its concerns about the proliferation of gang violence
in Indian Country when it set defendant's sentence.
