   MEMORANDUM

James Hisbadhorse appeals from the 360-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for aggravated sexual abuse, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1153(a), 2241(c), and abusive sexual contact, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1153(a), 2244(a)(5). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm but remand to the district court to correct a clerical error in the judgment.

Hisbadhorse contends that the district court abused its discretion by imposing a sentence greater than necessary under the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, and by imposing the sentence to run consecutively to Hisbadhorse’s undischarged state sentence. The district court did not abuse its discretion. The sentence, though lengthy, is substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances and the sentencing factors set forth in section 3553(a). See 18 U.S.C. § 3584; U.S.S.G. § 5G1.3(c); Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

We remand to the district court with instructions to amend the judgment to delete reference to 18 U.S.C. § 2241(a)(5) and replace it with 18 U.S.C. § 2244(a)(5).

AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct the judgment.
