MEMORANDUM **
Greg Morgan appeals pro se the district court’s order affirming his conviction by no contest plea and the $25 fine imposed for failure to have registration for his vehicle, in violation of Cal. Veh.Code § 4000(a), while driving on Edwards Air Force Base. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo questions of law, United States v. Yacoubian, 24 F.3d 1, 3 (9th Cir.1994), and we affirm.
Morgan contends that the district court lacked jurisdiction over his motor vehicle offense because 32 C.F.R. § 210.3, which made Cal. Veh.Code § 4000(a) applicable on the military base, represents an unconstitutional delegation of Congress’ rule-making authority. The district court properly affirmed Morgan’s conviction and fine because 32 C.F.R. § 210.3, when coupled with 32 C.F.R. § 634.25, is an appropriate exercise of Congress’ delegation of rule-making authority as granted by 40 U.S.C. § 318. See Bicycle Trails Council of Mann v. Babbitt, 82 F.3d 1445, 1451 (9th Cir.1996) (holding that regulations promulgated pursuant to an express Congressional grant of rulemaking authority will be upheld “unless they are arbitrary, capricious, or manifestly contrary to the statute.”) (quoting Chevron USA, Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 844, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984)).
Morgan’s remaining contentions lack merit.
AFFIRMED.
