United States v. Matthew Eaton

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Matthew Eaton, 407 F. App'x 250 (9th Cir. 2011)
Goodwin, Wallace, Clifton

United States v. Matthew Eaton

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Matthew Allen Eaton appeals from the 27-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to transport stolen property in interstate and foreign commerce, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 and 2314. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Eaton contends that the district court erred by imposing a two-level upward adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4 for using a minor to commit a crime. The record reflects that the district court did not clearly err in finding that Eaton affirmatively used his children in the conspiracy. See United States v. Castro-Hernandez, 258 F.3d 1057, 1060-61 (9th Cir. 2001).

AFFIRMED.
