Ritchie

MEMORANDUM **

Appellant Donald Ritchie appeals his conviction and sentence following a jury trial for manufacturing methamphetamine, attempted manufacture of methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, and felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 (a)(1), 846, 844(a), 922(g). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm. Because the parties are familiar with the facts, we will not recite them in detail.

We review de novo whether a confession was voluntary. United States v. Andaverde, 64 F.3d 1305, 1310 (9th Cir.1995), cert. denied, 516 U.S. 1164 , 116 S.Ct. 1055 , 134 L.Ed.2d 199 (1996). We review for clear error the district court’s factual finding that the defendant waived his Miranda rights. Id. at 1313. We review the district court’s decision to admit evidence for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Hernandez, 109 F.3d 1450, 1452 (9th Cir. 1997). To determine whether the evidence was sufficient to support Ritchie’s convictions, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the government and reverse only if a rational trier of fact could not have found the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
