Heading: Constitutionality of Douglas's Sentence

Text: 42 Finally, Douglas argues that the district court improperly enhanced his sentence based on facts not alleged or proven and conduct for which he was acquitted. As Douglas concedes, however, the Eleventh Circuit has made clear that when a district court applies the guidelines in an advisory manner, nothing in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), prohibits the district court from imposing guidelines enhancements based on facts found by the judge by a preponderance of the evidence. United States v. Faust, 456 F.3d 1342, 1347-48 (11th Cir.2006); United States v. Chau, 426 F.3d 1318, 1323 (11th Cir.2005); United States v. Rodriguez, 398 F.3d 1291, 1301 (11th Cir.), cert. denied, 545 U.S. 1127, 125 S.Ct. 2935, 162 L.Ed.2d 866 (2005). As such, we affirm the sentence imposed by the district court.
