Submitted May 25, 2010 **
Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Richard John Ichihara appeals from the 30-year sentence imposed following

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
of methamphetamine hydrochloride, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and
846, and money laundering, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 956(a)(1)(B)(I). We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Ichihara contends that the district court erred when it imposed a two-level
enhancement for importation of methamphetamine pursuant to U.S.S.G.
§ 2D1.1(b)(4). The record reflects that Ichihara admitted to knowingly importing
methamphetamine, and we therefore conclude that the district court did not err.
See U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(4).
AFFIRMED.
