MEMORANDUM **

Casey Garret Teter appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 16-month sentence imposed upon revocation of probation. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Teter contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to consider the sentencing range under U.S.S.G. § 7B1.4, and by failing to explain why it imposed a sentence within the higher sentencing range applicable to Teter’s underlying offense. We review for plain error, see United States v. Valencia-Barragan, 608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010), and there was none. The record reflects that the court was aware of the two sentencing ranges and chose to sentence Teter within the higher range in light of Teter’s poor performance on probation and lack of mitigating circumstances. The court’s explanation for the sentence was sufficient. See United States v. Olabanji, 268 F.3d 636, 637-38 (9th Cir. 2001).

Teter next contends that the district court based its sentencing decision on clearly erroneous facts regarding Teter’s violations. There was no reversible error because, even if the court misspoke, the record reflects that it properly imposed[*693] sentence on the basis of Teter’s multiple admitted violations. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 993 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc) (it is procedural error to “choose a sentence based on clearly erroneous facts”).

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

AFFIRMED.
