United States v. Jackson
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Myles Stanley Jackson appeals the 63-month sentence imposed following his conviction by jury trial of 8 counts of conspira
Jackson contends that the district court erred by applying a two-level sentence enhancement for an offense involving “sophisticated means” because he was only a low-level participant in the fraud scheme. We need not decide whether U.S.S.G. § 2Bl.l(b)(8)(C) includes an exception for low-level participants because the record contains sufficient evidence that Jackson was personally involved in complex aspects of this undisputedly sophisticated scheme. See U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1, cmt. n. 6 (B) (2002); United States v. Aragbaye, 234 F.3d 1101, 1108 (9th Cir. 2000). Accordingly, the district court did not plainly error by applying the enhancement.
AFFIRMED.
