Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Appellant Eric Frederick Welch appeals his sentence for inducing mail theft and for receipt of stolen government property in excess of $1,000 in value.
I
The district court did not err by considering Welch's aggravating methamphet amine distribution conduct. See U.S.S.G. § 5K2.21; United States v. Barragan-Espinoza, 350 F.3d 978, 983 (9th Cir.2003).
II
The district court did not abuse its discretion by imposing a special condition requiring Welch to complete a sex offender treatment program during his period of supervised release. See United States v. Gallaher, 275 F.3d 784, 793 (9th Cir.2001) ("A district court has discretion to order special conditions . if . reasonably related to the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)."); 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1), (a)(2)(C), (a)(2)(D), & (a)(5); U.S.S.G. § 5D1.3(d).
AFFIRMED.
