United States v. Kenneth Kang
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Kenneth Huidong Kang appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the six-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for criminal conspiracy, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 371, and harboring illegal aliens, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) and (a)(1)(B)(i). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Kang argues that the district court erred by denying his request for a three-level mitigating role adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2. We review a district court’s determination that a defendant did not have a mitigated role for clear error. See United States v. Rosas, 615 F.3d 1058, 1066 (9th Cir. 2010). In light of the facts, including the length of Kang’s involvement in the conspiracy and his harboring of illegal aliens in his own home, the district court did not clearly err in denying the adjustment. See id. at 1067-68.
AFFIRMED.
