NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS OCT 15 2018 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 16-50061 Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 2:12-cr-00722-TJH-3 v. DARYLE LAMONT SELLERS, MEMORANDUM* and ORDER Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Terry J. Hatter, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted March 8, 2018 Pasadena, California Before: GRABER** and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges, and SIMON,*** District Judge.

Daryle Lamont Sellers appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment for outrageous government conduct. Following a jury trial,

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** Judge Graber was drawn by lot to replace Judge Reinhardt. Ninth Circuit General Order 3.2.h. She has read the briefs, reviewed the record, and listened to the tape of oral argument held on March 8, 2018. *** The Honorable Michael H. Simon, United States District Judge for the District of Oregon, sitting by designation.

Sellers was convicted of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, and conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm.

1. We have previously upheld a stash house reverse-sting operation as not rising to the level of outrageous government conduct. United States v. Black, 733 F.3d 294, 304–10 (9th Cir. 2013). The facts of this case are not materially distinguishable from those in Black.

2. The remaining arguments presented by Sellers lack merit.1 First, the district court was permitted to make a finding regarding drug quantity in order to calculate the guidelines sentencing range. See United States v. Brown, 347 F.3d 1095, 1100 (9th Cir. 2003). Second, Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015), is inapplicable because the jury acquitted Sellers of the 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) charge and the district court did not apply a mandatory minimum at sentencing.

Finally, the district court did not err by considering evidence that the conspiracy involved the use of firearms at sentencing. United States v. Watts, 519 U.S. 148, 157 (1997) (per curiam).

Sellers’s unopposed motion for permission to file a pro se supplemental brief (docket entry no. 28) is GRANTED, and thus we also consider the arguments asserted in that brief.

3. We address Sellers’ challenge to the denial of discovery on his selective enforcement claim in a separate, concurrently filed opinion.

The claims addressed in this disposition are AFFIRMED.
