No. 24-40131

with his due process right to present at sentencing. The condition appeared in an appendix contained within the 19 numbered pages of the presentence report (PSR) that was disclosed to the defense several months before the sentencing hearing. Esquivel-Florian asserts that, while the district court orally adopted the condition by referencing the PSR’s appendix and confirmed that Esquivel-Florian reviewed the PSR with counsel in Spanish prior to the sentencing hearing, the court did not separately confirm that he reviewed the appendix. See United States v. Diggles, 957 F.3d 551, 560-63 & n.5 (5th Cir. 2020) (en banc).

Plain error review applies to the forfeited objection because Esquivel- Florian had an opportunity to object to any deficiency in the pronouncement when the district court orally adopted the condition. See United States v. Diggles, 957 F.3d 551, 560 (5th Cir. 2020) (en banc); United States v. Baez- Adriano, 74 F.4th 292, 297-98 (5th Cir. 2023). This court has not determined in a published decision whether a district court satisfies the pronouncement requirement in these circumstances. However, we concluded in an unpublished decision that the district court’s oral adoption of conditions in PSR’s appendix satisfied the pronouncement requirement where “[t]he PSR, including its appendix, was made available to [the defendant] and his counsel . . . nearly six weeks before his sentencing hearing” and the defendant confirmed “that he reviewed the PSR with his attorney.” United States v. Nash, 841 F. App’x 695, 699 (5th Cir. 2021). Because Nash is “squarely on point,” any pronouncement error by the district court in this case is subject to reasonable dispute and thus is not clear or obvious. United States v. Guerrero-Robledo, 565 F.3d 940, 946 (5th Cir. 2009); see United States v. Fields, 777 F.3d 799, 802 (5th Cir. 2015). Accordingly, Esquivel-Florian fails to show plain error. See Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009).

AFFIRMED.
