UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Steven Walter MOSBY, Defendant-Appellant.
Steven Walter Mosby appeals his 46–month sentence for conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (2012). Mosby claims on appeal that the district court erred in applying a sentencing enhancement for a loss amount exceeding $20,000, pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2B3.1(b)(7)(B) (2016). As part of his plea agreement, Mosby signed a statement of facts indicating that the “approximate retail value” of the relevant stolen merchandise was $20,090. Although Mosby argues that this figure is too uncertain to sustain the challenged enhancement, we conclude that Mosby’s statement is sufficient evidence to support a factual finding that the loss exceeded $20,000, and the district court here did not clearly err in so finding. See 18 U.S.C. § 3742(e) (2012) (providing standard of review).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
