U.S.C. § 1291. We review for plain error, United States v. Hammons, 558 F.3d

1100, 1103 (9th Cir. 2009), and we affirm.

       Avelar contends that the district court procedurally erred when it failed to

address applicable section 3553 factors and the reasons for imposing a particular

sentence. The record reflects that the district court adequately explained the

reasons for the sentence, including stating the applicable Sentencing Guidelines

range. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc);

Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 358-59 (2007).

       AFFIRMED.
