MEMORANDUM*

2
Initially, we address two issues not raised before the district court.  First, Ahuruonye claims that the government failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the elements of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, 18 U.S.C. § 371, and money laundering, 18 U.S.C. § 1956.  Second, Ahuruonye claims that the government engaged in outrageous conduct that violated his right to due process by inducing him to commit the crimes.

3
We need not decide these issues because Ahuruonye is barred from making these claims for the first time on appeal.  See U.S. v. Reyes-Alvarado, 963 F.2d 1184 (9th Cir.1992).  96-15961/96-15972

4
In all other respects, the findings and conclusions of the district court are supported by the record.

5
AFFIRMED.

**
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  See Fed.  R.App. P. 34(a);  9th Cir.  R. 34-4
