we affirm.
Redondo contends that the evidence was insufficient to support the amount
of restitution ordered because the district court failed to resolve a factual dispute at
sentencing and failed to justify its restitution calculation. Redondo did not object
to the amount of restitution before the district court. To the extent the district court
failed to resolve a factual dispute, the error was neither plain, nor did it affect
Redondo’s substantial rights. See United States v. Zink, 107 F.3d 716, 718 (9th
Cir. 1997). Furthermore, there was sufficient evidence and justification to support
the amount of restitution ordered. See id. at 719-20.
AFFIRMED.
