      Yongda Huang Harris appeals his conviction and five-year sentence of

probation following his guilty plea to making false statements in a customs

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

declaration form, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. We have jurisdiction under 28

U.S.C. § 1291. We AFFIRM IN PART AND REMAND IN PART.

      Harris may appeal his conviction despite indicating in his notice of appeal

that he was appealing his “sentence only” because both parties fully briefed the

matter. United States v. Littlefield, 105 F.3d 527, 528 (9th Cir. 1997) (per curiam);

United States v. Shin, 953 F.2d 559, 560-61 (9th Cir. 1992). Any difficulty the

government may have in re-prosecuting the case were we to reverse Harris’s

conviction is speculative and would not be caused by Harris’s omission. Nor is

this appeal barred by the appeal waiver in the plea agreement because the

agreement specifically preserves Harris’s right to appeal on the ground that his plea

was involuntary and the right to appeal the sentencing issues he now raises.

      When Harris pled guilty to making a false statement, he was advised that it

is a crime to willfully make a false statement, to do so deliberately and with

knowledge that the statement is untrue. He was not specifically advised that the

government was also required to prove that he knew that making a knowing and

deliberately false customs declaration is illegal. Even assuming that Harris should

have been advised that the government had to prove that he knew that willfully

making a false statement is a crime, Harris did not show that he suffered any

prejudice as a result. There is no reason to believe that Harris, who was
                                          -3-
represented by counsel, did not know that it is a crime to make a false statement.

Nor is there any claim that he would not have pled guilty if he had been informed

by the court that “willfully” requires proof that he knew that lying on a customs

declaration is a crime. Thus, on plain error review, United States v. Anderson, 741

F.3d 938, 945-46 (9th Cir. 2013), we conclude that any error did not “affect[] the

outcome of the district court proceedings” or the “fairness, integrity or public

reputation of judicial proceedings,” United States v. Marcus, 560 U.S. 258, 262

(2010) (internal quotation marks omitted).

      The district court was not required to credit the five months Harris spent in

pretrial detention toward his term of probation because, by its plain language, 18

U.S.C. § 3585(b)(1) only applies to sentences of imprisonment, not sentences of

probation. Given the items Harris was carrying in his luggage and the files found

on his laptop at the time he made the false statements on his customs declaration

form, the district court did not abuse its discretion in deciding that a five-year term

of probation was the appropriate sentence, despite the fact that Harris had spent

five months in pretrial detention. Pretrial detention is not a term of imprisonment

and therefore the five months Harris spent in pretrial detention does not cause

Harris’s sentence to exceed the statutory maximum or run afoul of 18 U.S.C. §
                                           -4-
3561(a)(3)’s prohibition on sentencing a defendant to both a term of probation and

a term of imprisonment.

       Rather than meeting Harris’s arguments about the constitutionality of the

condition of probation prohibiting contact with minors unless Harris secures

advance permission from his probation officer, the government does not oppose a

remand to the district court for clarification of the condition as written to accord

with the discussion at sentencing. We therefore remand this aspect of Harris’s case

to the district court for clarification.

       AFFIRMED IN PART AND REMANDED IN PART.
