   MEMORANDUM

Sergio Montes-Ramirez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 12-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Montes-Ramirez contends that the district court procedurally erred by basing his sentence on the clearly erroneous factual determination that his prior conviction was a sexual offense. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir.2010), and find none. The record reflects that the court expressly declined to characterize Montes-Ramirez’s prior crime as a sexual offense and imposed the sentence on the basis of Montes-Ramirez’s criminal and immigration history.

AFFIRMED.
