United States v. Eric Lopez-Salas

Opinion

MEMORANDUM ***

Eric Lopez-Salas appeals the sentence imposed by the district court, following his guilty plea to making a false statement within the jurisdiction of the federal government, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

The district court did not clearly err in finding that the uncharged acts of fraud constituted relevant conduct for the purpose of calculating the offense level, because the charged conduct and uncharged acts of fraud were part of a common scheme connected by a common purpose and featuring the same actors. See United States v. Tulaner, 512 F.3d 576, 578-79 (9th Cir. 2008).

AFFIRMED.
