Claims not raised before the district court are deemed waived, or limited to review for plain error. See United States v. Quintana-Torres, 235 F.3d 1197, 1199 (9th Cir.2000); Fed.R.Evid. 103(d). Whether the evidence is sufficient to support a conviction is reviewed de novo. United States v. Shipsey, 363 F.3d 962 , 971 n. 8 (9th *974 Cir.2004). The district court’s factual findings, including factual determinations for sentencing purposes, are reviewed for clear error. See United States v. Fox, 189 F.3d 1115, 1119 (9th Cir.1999).
