MEMORANDUM ***

Defendant-Appellant, William Richard Nielsen, appeals his sentence of 480 months for violating 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). We affirm the district court.

Nielsen pleaded guilty to coercing and enticing a minor in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). His sentence was vacated by this court. United States v. Nielsen, 694 F.3d 1032 (9th Cir. 2012). On remand, the district court considered the recommended sentence range of 188-235 months, calculated under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2G1.3. The district court exceeded that range and imposed a sentence of 480 months’ imprisonment followed by a lifetime term of supervised release. Nielsen contends (1) that the district court erred in failing to consider a cross-reference to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2A3.1 contained within § 2G1.3 and (2) that his sentence is not substantively reasonable.

U.S. Sentencing Guideline § 2G1.3(c)(3) provides that if “the offense involved conduct described in 18 U.S.C. § 2241 or § 2242, apply § 2A3.1 (Criminal Sexual Abuse; Attempt to Commit Criminal Sexual Abuse), if the resulting offense level is greater than that determined [under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2G1.3].” Here, the district court did not plainly err in failing to discuss or apply the cross-reference to § 2A3.1. Assuming without deciding that Nielsen’s offense of enticing a minor from her home in Wyoming to Montana in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b) involved conduct described in § 2241 or § 2242, triggering the possible application of the cross-reference, 1 we are confident that no plain error occurred because Nielsen cannot show that any error would have affected his substantial rights. United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 734-35, 113 S.Ct. 1770, 123 L.Ed.2d 508 (1993). If anything, as Nielsen conceded in his opening brief, he benefitted from any potential district court error — his total offense level would have been higher had the cross-reference applied. There was no effect on Nielsen’s substantial rights and no plain error. Id.

Nor did the district court abuse its discretion in imposing a sentence of 480 months. This court reviews the substantive reasonableness of a sentence for abuse of discretion. United States v. Ressam, 679 F.3d 1069, 1086 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc). Here, the district court properly considered the sentencing factors enumerated in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). Because we *935 conclude that the sentence of 480 months’ imprisonment is not illogical, implausible, or without support in inferences that maybe drawn from the record, United States v. Hinkson, 585 F.3d 1247, 1262-63 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc), we affirm Nielsen’s sentence.

AFFIRMED.
