OPINION

RONALD LEE GILMAN, Circuit Judge.

Jermain Marvin Alexander pled guilty to one count of possessing crack cocaine with the intent to distribute the drug. The district court sentenced him to 360 months in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release. Alexander contends for the first time on appeal that the district court erred by adopting the Presen-tence Report’s (PSR’s) finding that he was a “career offender.” He also argues that his sentence was both procedurally and substantively unreasonable.
