SMITH, Circuit Judge.
Tyler Leach pleaded guilty, pursuant to a plea agreement, to knowingly using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to persuade, induce, and entice a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). In sentencing Leach, the district court declined to apply enhancements advocated by the government under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.5(a) or, alternatively, under § 4B1.5(b). Leach was sentenced to 72 months’ imprisonment. The government appeals the district court’s decision that neither enhancement applies. We reverse.
