Is a sentencing judge required to state in open court the reasons for the imposition of the sentence?

The sentencing judge is required to state "in open court the reasons for [the] imposition of the particular sentence." 18 U.S.C. 3553(c). To meet this requirement, the judge need only "set forth enough to satisfy the appellate court that he has considered the parties' arguments and has a reasoned basis for exercising his own legal decision making authority. Nonetheless, when a judge decides simply to apply the Guidelines in a particular case, doing so will not necessarily require a lengthy explanation." Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 356 (2007) (internal citation omitted).
