   MEMORANDUM

Robert Earl Cunningham appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 600-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for six counts of sexual exploitation of a child, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2251(a), (b), and (e). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Cunningham contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Cunningham’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The above-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and the totality of the circumstances, including the nature of the offense and the need to protect the public. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51, 128 S.Ct. 586.

AFFIRMED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
