We have jurisdiction pur *89 suant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742 and 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We affirm.
We review de novo the legality of a guidelines sentence. United States v. Reyes-Pacheco, 248 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir. 2001). We review for clear error the application of an aggravated role adjustment, United States v. Avila, 95 F.3d 887, 889 (9th Cir.1996), and an adjustment for use of a minor in the commission of an offense, United States v. Parker, 241 F.3d 1114, 1120 (9th Cir.2001). We generally review a restitution order for abuse of discretion, with factual findings reviewed for clear error and the legality of the restitution order reviewed de novo. United States v. Stoddard, 150 F.3d 1140, 1147 (9th Cir. 1998).
