MEMORANDUM *
1. The affidavit of FBI agent Adrienne N. Mitchell supported the magistrate judge’s finding of probable cause. See United States v. Meek, 366 F.3d 705, 712 (9th Cir.2004).
2. Because defendant admitted that his computer contained contraband, the government could not have returned it to him when the original warrant expired. See United States v. Van Cauwenberghe, 827 F.2d 424, 433 (9th Cir.1987). And before searching the computer, the government obtained an extension of the 60-day period.
3. Defendant was not in constructive custody during the search of his apartment, as he was repeatedly told he was free to leave. See United States v. Kim, 292 F.3d 969, 974 (9th Cir.2002). And a suspect’s request for a lawyer has legal effect only if the suspect is in custody. See Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 477, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966).
4. The district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing defendant to 50 *517months’ imprisonment, 7 months below the bottom of the Guidelines range for his offense level. See Gall v. United States, - U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 586, 594, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).
AFFIRMED.
