Appellant argues that the district court erred in its finding that he was subject to a twenty-year maximum sentence based on his prior conviction for an aggravated felony. Appellant, however, failed to object at sentencing to the application of this sentencing enhancement. We therefore review this issue for plain error and find *535 none. See United States v. Brown, 417 F.3d 1077, 1079 (9th Cir.2005); United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411, 414 (9th Cir.2000).

II.

Appellant contends that the district court erred at the sentencing hearing by imposing an unreasonably long sentence and by failing to adequately consider on the record the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553 (a).
