   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3477
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Benton,
   Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. For the court's prior opinion in the case, see
   United States v. Pickar, 616 F.3d 821 (8th Cir. 2010). The district court
   carefully considered the mitigating factors defendant relied upon in
   arguing for a variance, and did not err in assigning greater weight to his
   criminal history and the nature of his offense; the sentence imposed was
   not substantively unreasonable; there is no suggestion in the sentencing
   record that the district court lengthened defendant's sentence for
   treatment purposes, and there was no violation of the principles
   announced in Tapia v. U.S., 131 S. Ct. 2382 (2011).
