OPINION

BOYCE F. MARTIN, JR., Circuit Judge.

The United States appeals Joseph Hairston's 60-month sentence, which was reimposed by the district court on remand in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). The government contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. We disagree, and thus AFFIRM Hairston's sentence.
