Pajardo

MEMORANDUM **

The district court did not err in enhancing Pajardo’s sentence based on its finding that Pajardo’s drug offenses involved approximately three kilograms of methamphetamine. In calculating the applicable Sentencing Guidelines range, the district court may generally rely on facts proved by a preponderance of the evidence. Un ited States v. Pike, 473 F.3d 1053, 1057 (9th Cir.2007). In this case, the drug amount was established by undisputed evidence in the record. The court is also entitled to rely on undisputed statements in the presenteneing report. See United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073, 1085 (9th Cir.2005) (en banc); see also Fed.R.Crim.P. 32(i)(3)(A). The district court’s use of such evidence to calculate the applicable Sentencing Guidelines range does not raise a Sixth Amendment issue under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 , 120 S.Ct. 2348 , 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). See United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 , 125 S.Ct. 738 , 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). Therefore, even if Pajardo never admitted to transactions involving three kilograms of methamphetamine, we would uphold the district court’s application of the Sentencing Guidelines. United States v. Thomas, 355…
