Before CUDAHY, WOOD, and EVANS, Circuit Judges.

Isaiah Gregory is still a young man, but he has a lengthy enough criminal record to have earned sentencing as a career offender for his latest drug crimes. And the sentence was a stiff one: 327 months’ imprisonment, which represented the high end of his advisory sentencing guideline range. On appeal, Gregory has complained only about that sentence. His principal assertion is that he should not have been characterized as a career offender; secondarily, he argues that his sentence was so extreme as to be unreasonable for purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). While we acknowledge the severity of the sentence, we see no error in the district court’s decisions that led to it. We therefore affirm.
