MEMORANDUM **

Quentin Robert Small, Sr. appeals from the 90-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for aggravated sexual abuse, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1153 and 2241(a)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.

*545 Small contends that the district court procedurally erred by placing undue emphasis on the advisory guidelines and failing to adequately explain his sentence in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553 (a) factors. We conclude that Small has not demonstrated reversible error under the plain error standard. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992, 995 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc); see also United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 762 (9th Cir.2008).

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
