Unpublished opinions are not binding preced ent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Korey Maurice McGirt appeals the thirty

- month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to conspiracy to falsely make, counterfeit, and alter obligatio ns, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 (2012). On appeal, McGirt argu es that the district court plainly erred in assessing three criminal h istory points for a conviction under South Carolina’s Youthful Offender Act (“YOA”) when he was seventeen years old . For the following reasons, we affirm.

“ We review any sentence , whe ther inside, just outside, or significantly outside the Guidelines range, [ for reasonableness ] under a deferential abuse

- of

- discretion standard.” United States v. King , 673 F.3d 274, 283 (4th Cir. 2012) (citing Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 4 1 (2007 ) )
. The first step in this review requires us to “ ensure that the district court has not committed any significant procedural

error. ” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). Procedural errors include , among others, “failing to calculate (or improperly calculating) the Guidelines range.” Gall , 552 U.S. at 51.
Because McGirt did not object to the points assessed for the YOA conviction, this c ourt’s rev iew is limited to plain

error. United States v. Hamilton , 70 1 F.3d 404, 410 (4th Cir.3 2012), cert. denied , 133 S. Ct. 1838 (2013) ; see Henderson v. United States , 133 S. Ct. 1121, 1126

- 27 (2013) (discussing standard of review)
. A defendant receives three criminal history points for a prior sentence that exceeded o ne year and one month of imprisonment. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (“ USSG ”) § 4A1.1(a) (2013)
. For offenses committed prior to the age of eighteen, like McGirt’s YOA conviction, USSG § 4A1.2 (d)(1) instructs that , “[i] f the defendant was convicted

a s an adult and received a sentence of imprisonment exceeding one year and one month, ” USSG § 4A1.1(a) appli es . After reviewing the record, we conclude that McGirt’s 2005 YOA conviction was an adult conviction for which he received an adult sentence . McGirt was convicted in the court of General Sessions, rather than a South Carolina family court.
S ee United States v. Pinion , 4 F.3d 941, 944 (11th Cir. 1993) (noting that defendant was convicted in “ the Court of General Sessions

— an adult court ”). Mc Girt’s sentence was an adult sentence, as the c ourt o f General Sessions may sentence youthful offenders to the state’s Department of Corrections. S.C. Code Ann. § 24

– 19

– 50(3) (1989)
. Thus, the district court did not plainly err in relying on McGirt’s 200 5 YOA conviction in assigning th re e criminal history points.4 For these reasons, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this cour t and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
