SUMMARY ORDER

UPON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.

Defendant-appellant Adrian Munoz Perez ("Munoz Perez") appeals from the July 15, 2011 judgment of conviction entered by the District Court, convicting him, following his guilty plea, of conspiring to transport illegal aliens within the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(I). Munoz Perez was sentenced principally to 36 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised release. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of this case, and the issues on appeal.

On appeal, Munoz Perez argues that his sentence was based on an erroneous finding of fact and was therefore procedurally unreasonable. We review a criminal sentence for reasonableness, which "amounts to review for abuse of discretion." United States v. Cavera, 550 F.3d 180, 187 (2d Cir. 2008) (en banc); see also Sims v. Blot, 534 F.3d 117, 132 (2d Cir. 2008) (explaining that the term of art "abuse of discretion" includes errors of law). Where, as here, the defendant fails to raise his procedural objections to the district court at the time of sentencing, we review his claims only for plain error. See United States v. Verkhoglyad, 516 F.3d 122, 128 (2d Cir. 2008).

In this case, Munoz Perez contends that his sentence was procedurally erroneous because it was based "to a substantial extent" on the District Court's concern that minors are victimized in the prostitution business, when there was no evidence in the record that the prostitution business operated by Munoz Perez involved any minors. But Munoz Perez both overstates the significance of the District Court's observations about harm to minors at the sentencing hearing and ignores other reasons the District Court articulated for imposing a sentence above the advisory Guidelines range of 24-30 months. Viewed as a whole, the record clearly demonstrates that the District Court decided to impose an above-Guidelines sentence based on the defendant's direct involvement in the prostitution and exploitation of vulnerable illegal immigrant women. App'x 76 ("I'm saying women because that's what was involved here . . . ."). We find no error, much less plain error, in that determination.

CONCLUSION

We have considered all of Munoz Perez's other arguments on appeal and conclude that each of them is without merit. Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
