The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). forfeiting the $100,000 appearance bond posted by Cebreros on behalf of her son, defendant Yovanny Ontiveros. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, United States v. Nguyen, 279 F.3d 1112, 1115 (9th Cir. 2002), we affirm.

Cebreros contends that the district court abused its discretion by declining to set aside all or part of the bond forfeiture because the Nguyen factors, see id. at 1115-16 (listing six non-exclusive factors to be considered by district courts when deciding whether to set aside forfeiture of a bond), tip in her favor. In particular, Cebreros argues that her personal circumstances, the lack of evidence that she knew of or facilitated Ontiveros’s decision to flee, and the additional criminal case brought against Ontiveros after the bond hearing, supported setting aside the forfeiture. The district court considered these arguments, however, and—after giving Ontiveros an additional 15 days to surrender—reasonably determined that there was no basis to set aside the forfeiture under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 46(f)(2). The district court did not abuse “the wide discretion afforded [it] in this arena.” Nguyen, 279 F.3d at 1115.

The government’s request for judicial notice is granted.

AFFIRMED.
