Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Jerry Lee Hairston, Jr., appeals from his 67-month sentence entered pursuant to his guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. After calculating a Sentencing Guidelines range of 84-105 months, the district court granted the Government’s motion and Hairston’s request for a twenty percent substantial assistance departure from the low end of the Guidelines range. Hairston now asserts for the first time that the district court erred in failing to consider his mental and emotional issues and in imposing a longer sentence than Hairston would have received in a district with a fast-track program. We affirm.
In determining the procedural reasonableness of a sentence, we must assess inter alia whether the district court failed to consider either the 18 U.S.C. § 3558(a) (2006) factors or any arguments presented by the parties. United States v. Montes-Pineda, 445 F.3d 375, 380 (4th Cir.2006). Despite Hairston’s allegations to the contrary, the record reveals that the district court considered Hairston’s mental and emotional state, recommending psychological testing and requiring mental health treatment as a supervised release condition. The court appropriately weighed these factors against Hairston’s criminal history and related concerns, and as such, Hairston’s sentence was procedurally reasonable.
Next, Hairston alleges that his sentence was greater than necessary when compared to sentences for defendants participating in fast-track programs and, thus, substantively unreasonable.* If the sentence is within the appropriate Guidelines range, this court applies a presumption on appeal that the sentence is reasonable. United States v. Mendoza-Mendoza, 597 F.3d 212, 217 (4th Cir.2010). Such a presumption is rebutted only by showing “that the sentence is unreasonable when measured against the § 3553(a) factors.” Montes-Pineda, 445 F.3d at 379. Here, after weighing the appropriate factors, the court concluded that, despite the fact that a longer sentence could be justified, a departure sentence starting from the low end of the Guidelines range was appropriate. Given our review of the record as a whole, we hold that Hairston has failed to overcome the appellate presumption that his Guidelines sentence was reasonable.
Accordingly, we affirm Hairston’s sentence. We dispense with oral argument *980because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
