importation of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960. We
have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Trejo-Macias contends that the district court failed to make the requisite
perjury findings to support the imposition of a two-level obstruction of justice
enhancement pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1. Trejo-Macias never objected to the
enhancement in the district court and, in fact, filed sentencing summary charts
prior to and at the sentencing hearing that included the obstruction of justice
enhancement. Therefore, the district court’s duty to make findings on materiality,
falsity and willfulness was never triggered. See United States v. Dunnigan, 507
U.S. 87, 94-95 (1993); United States v. Rojas-Millan, 234 F.3d 464, 471 (9th Cir.
2000).
AFFIRMED.
