*1 Before: TASHIMA, SILVERMAN, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

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. *2 §§ 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 (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.

AFFIRMED.
