Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Edward Lee Sullivan appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the 324-month sentence imposed upon remand for resentencing following his bench-trial conviction for production of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a); and possession of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(4). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Sullivan contends that the district court erred by applying an.obstruction of justice enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1. We review the district court's factual findings for clear error and its application of the Guidelines to the facts for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Gasca-Ruiz, 852 F.3d 1167, 1170 (9th Cir. 2017) (en banc). Contrary to Sullivan's contention, the district court made sufficient factual findings to support the enhancement, including a finding that Sullivan willfully gave false testimony on a material matter at trial. See United States v. Jimenez-Ortega, 472 F.3d 1102, 1103 (9th Cir. 2007) (discussing the required elements, for an obstruction of justice enhancement); see also U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1 cmt. n.4(F) (enhancement is proper when defendant provides "materially false information to a judge").
AFFIRMED.
