United States v. Nijjar

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Surinder Singh Nijjar appeals from the 12-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for making false statements to a government agency, and aiding and abetting, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 and 2. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Nijjar contends that the district court erred by enhancing his sentence pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2Bl.l(b)(ll) (2002) because it improperly relied on certain testimony, and because the government’s evidence failed to demonstrate that the offense involved a conscious or reckless risk of serious bodily injury or death. We conclude that the district court did not err. See United, States v. Johansson, 249 F.3d 848, 859-60 (9th Cir. 2001).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
