   MEMORANDUM

Pedro Ivan Aguilar-Quinones appeals his conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Aguilar-Quinones’s motion for appointment of new counsel. Contrary to Aguilar-Quinones’s contentions, the district court made an adequate inquiry into his complaint and the record does not reflect that the conflict between Aguilar-Quinones and his counsel lead to a complete breakdown in communication or prevented Aguilar-Quinones from presenting an adequate defense. See United States v. Franklin, 321 F.3d 1231, 1239 (9th Cir.2003); United States v. McClendon, 782 F.2d 785, 789 (9th Cir.1986).

AFFIRMED.
