United States v. Ruben Valdez

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Ruben Valdez, 451 F. App'x 679 (9th Cir. 2011)

United States v. Ruben Valdez

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Ruben Valdez appeals from the 70-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Valdez contends that the district court erred by imposing a two-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3C1.2 (Reckless *680 Endangerment During Flight). He further contends that the court’s findings in support of the enhancement were insufficient as a procedural matter. The district court’s determination to apply the enhancement was not clear error, see United States v. Reyes-Oseguera, 106 F.3d 1481, 1483-84 (9th Cir. 1997), and its statements at sentencing were sufficient to permit meaningful appellate review, see United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 992-93, 995 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.
