The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wylie, 625 F.2d 1371 (9th Cir. 1980):
Prior to our consideration of the defendants' arguments, it should be noted that a district judge has wide discretion in determining what sentence to impose. United States v. Tucker, 404 U.S. 443, 446-447, 92 S.Ct. 589, 591-592, 30 L.Ed.2d 592 (1972). As long as the sentence is within statutory limits, it is generally not subject to review on appeal. Id.
