United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's sentence, imposed following defendant's guilty plea to one count of production of child pornography and one count of penalties for registered sex offenders, is affirmed, where: 1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in applying an enhancement for sexual exploitation of a minor by production of sexually explicit visual or printed material that portrayed sadistic or masochistic conduct or other depictions of violence; 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion by ordering the sentence to run consecutively to the defendant's undischarged state sentence; and 3) the sentence was reasonable.
