PER CURIAM:

           Damon Demont Nicholson appeals the 120-month sentence the

district court imposed after Nicholson pled guilty to one count of

being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

§§ 922(g)(1), 924 (2000).    We affirm.

           On appeal, Nicholson first challenges the presumption of

reasonableness this court affords post-Booker* sentences that are

within a properly calculated guidelines range.            A plethora of

circuit precedent forecloses this argument.         See    e.g., United

States v. Montes-Pineda, 445 F.3d 375, 379 (4th Cir.), petition for

cert. filed, __ U.S.L.W. __ (U.S. July 21, 2006) (No. 06-5439);

United States v. Johnson, 445 F.3d 339, 341-42 (4th Cir. 2006);

United States v. Moreland, 437 F.3d 424, 433 (4th Cir.), cert.

denied, 126 S. Ct. 2054 (2006); United States v. Green, 436 F.3d

449, 457 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 126 S. Ct. 2309 (2006).            We

decline   Nicholson’s   invitation   to   ignore   established   circuit

authority.    See United States v. Chong, 285 F.3d 343, 346-47 (4th

Cir. 2002) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted) (noting

that one panel of this court cannot overrule another).

           Nicholson next asserts that the district court failed to

appropriately consider the other sentencing factors set forth in 18

U.S.C.A. § 3553(a) (West 2000 & Supp. 2006). Although the district

court did not explicitly discuss every § 3553(a) factor on the

      United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005).

                                - 2 -
record,   it   was   not   required     to   “robotically   tick   through

§ 3553(a)’s every subsection.”          Johnson, 445 F.3d at 345; see

United States v. Eura, 440 F.3d 625, 632 (4th Cir.), petition for

cert. filed, __ U.S.L.W. __ (U.S. June 20, 2006) (No. 05-11659).

The   record   reflects    that   the   district   court    complied   with

§ 3553(a)(1), and considered Nicholson’s personal history and

circumstances — including his mental health and substance abuse

issues — in determining his sentence.            Thus, this claim lacks

merit.

           We affirm Nicholson’s sentence.         We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.
