OPINION OF THE COURT
I.
Appellant, Ronsheek Baskerville, pleaded guilty to violating 18 U.S.C. § 472, 18 U.S.C. § 2, possession of counterfeit cur*200rency, and 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), felon in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to 130 months’ imprisonment. The District Court later granted the government’s motion for reduction of sentence for substantial assistance in other investigations which reduced Baskerville’s sentence to 100 months. Baskerville appealed, and we affirmed. The United States Supreme Court granted Baskerville’s Petition for Certiorari, vacated the judgment and remanded the case to us for consideration of the now-advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines as articulated in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). We remanded the case to the District Court which again sentenced Baskerville to 100 months’ imprisonment. Baskerville appeals his sentence now arguing that the District Court failed to adequately consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and state its reasons for reimposing the 100 month sentence.
After briefing was completed, we decided United States v. Cooper, 437 F.3d 324 (3d Cir.2006), a case which determined the extent to which a sentencing judge must articulate his consideration of the § 3553(a) factors during the sentencing colloquy. After considering further briefing from the parties on the relevancy of the Cooper decision to Baskerville’s appeal, we will affirm his sentence.
II.
We first conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review the extent of the District Court’s downward departure. See United States v. Denardi, 892 F.2d 269, 272 (3d Cir.1989) (“This Court does not have jurisdiction over an appeal of a district court’s exercise of discretion whether, or by how much, to grant a downward departure.”) As long as the District Court understood its authority to depart downward as well as the now-advisory nature of the federal sentencing scheme, its decision to deny further downward departure is unreviewable. It is clear from the record that the District Judge understood his role and duties on resentencing. At the beginning of the resentencing hearing, he stated that, under this Court’s appellate mandate, he was considering the factors outlined in the Sentencing Reform Act and the now-advisory nature of the Guidelines and that he had reviewed the transcript of the prior sentencing hearing and would review de novo the prior record to assure that Baskerville received a fair sentence under the scheme announced in Booker. He also encouraged the parties to raise “any other matters relevant to the imposition of sentence.” Both parties took full advantage of his advice, the defense making four arguments for a further reduction in sentence and the prosecution rebutting those arguments and urging the reimposition of the 100 month sentence. The record assures us that the District Judge carefully considered each party’s arguments.
We also conclude that the 100 month sentence the District Court reimposed upon Baskerville was reasonable and that its consideration of the § 3553(a) factors was thorough. The sentence imposed was 30 months below the recommended Guidelines imprisonment range. Moreover, the record reflects that the District Court carefully considered the four grounds argued by defense counsel for a further reduction in sentence: (1) the circumstantial proof that the weapon was possessed in connection with the counterfeiting offense; (2) the individual indicted and convicted as a result of Baskerville’s substantial assistance had received only 20 months in prison; (3) Baskerville’s participation in several prison rehabilitation programs; and (4) the extent to which his incarceration isolated him from supportive *201family members. The District Court confirmed with defense counsel that her discussion of these four factors was intended to be an argument to the sentencing factors set forth in § 3553(a). The District Court then directed the government to respond to defense counsel’s arguments at which time the prosecution reminded the Court of the seriousness of Baskerville’s current crimes, including being in possession of an automatic weapon while dealing in counterfeit currency, his lengthy criminal history of drug-trafficking and the significant reduction in sentence he had already received. In reimposing the 100 month sentence, the District Judge stated, with full record support, that he believed the sentence satisfied the § 3553(a) factors. We agree. The Judgment of the District Court will be affirmed.
