PER CURIAM:
William Felton Harris pled guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (2006). He was sentenced to forty-six months’ imprisonment on September 17, 2008. United States v. Harris, No. 5:08-cr-00083-F-l (E.D.N.C. Sept. 17, 2008). Harris timely appealed his sentence, arguing that it was procedurally unreasonable because the district court failed to adequately explain its sentence as required by United States v. Carter, 564 F.3d 325, 328 (4th Cir.2009). We agreed, vacated Harris’s sentence, and remanded for resentencing to allow the district court to conduct the required individualized assessment and place its findings on the record. United States v. Harris, 337 Fed. Appx. 371 (4th Cir.2009).
On remand, the district court again sentenced Harris to forty-six months’ imprisonment. Harris filed a timely appeal. On appeal, Harris contends that the sentencing court again committed procedural error because it failed to explain why Harris’s family ties did not merit a lower sentence. We affirm.
“Regardless of whether the sentence imposed is inside or outside the [g]uidelines range, the appellate court must review the sentence under an abuse-of-diseretion standard.” Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). Appellate courts are charged with reviewing sentences for reasonableness, considering both the procedural and substantive reasonableness of a sentence. Id.
In determining procedural reasonableness, we first assess whether the district court properly calculated the defendant’s advisory guidelines range. Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586. We then determine whether the district court failed to consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2006) factors and any arguments presented by the parties, treated the guidelines as mandatory, selected a sentence based on “clearly erroneous facts,” or failed to sufficiently explain the selected sentence. Id.; United States v. Pauley, 511 F.3d 468, 473 (4th Cir.2007). “The district court ‘must make an individualized assessments ... apply[ing] the relevant § 3553(a) factors to the specific circumstances of the case before it.” Carter, 564 F.3d at 328 (quoting Gall, 552 U.S. at 50, 128 S.Ct. 586). Additionally, a district judge must detail in open court the reasons behind the chosen sentence, “ ‘set[ting] forth enough to satisfy the appellate court that he has considered the parties’ arguments and has a reasoned basis for exercising his own legal decisionmaking authority.’ ” Id. (quoting Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 356, 127 S.Ct. 2456, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007)).
Finally, we review the substantive reasonableness of the sentence, “taking into account the ‘totality of the circumstances, including the extent of any variance from the [guidelines range.’” Pauley, 511 F.3d at 473 (quoting Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586).
After reviewing the record, we find that the district court adequately explained its chosen sentence, and that Harris’s sentence is both procedurally and substantively reasonable. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 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.
AFFIRMED.
