Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Matthew Allen Eaton appeals from the 27-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to transport stolen property in interstate and foreign commerce, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 and 2314. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Eaton contends that the district court erred by imposing a two-level upward adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.4 for using a minor to commit a crime. The record reflects that the district court did not clearly err in finding that Eaton affirmatively used his children in the conspiracy. See United States v. Castro-Hernandez, 258 F.3d 1057, 1060-61 (9th Cir.2001).
AFFIRMED.
