             The Honorable Josephine Staton Tucker, United States District Judge
for the Central District of California, sitting by designation.
      Defendant Zachary Beck appeals his conviction and his sentence after a

bench trial on the basis that his waiver of his jury-trial right was not knowing,

voluntary, or intelligent. Beck also appeals his conviction for conspiracy to violate

civil rights on the ground that the government failed to prove an agreement to

violate the victim’s civil rights. We affirm.

      Beck’s jury-trial waiver was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent. The district

court conducted an “in-depth” colloquy with Beck that adequately addressed the

four elements of his jury-trial right, including his right to personally participate in

jury selection. United States v. Christensen, 18 F.3d 822, 826 (9th Cir. 1994); see

United States v. Cochran, 770 F.2d 850, 853 (9th Cir. 1985).

      Sufficient evidence supported the district court’s conclusion that Beck

conspired to violate the victim’s civil rights, including strong circumstantial

evidence that Beck and his associates “acted with a common goal” in attacking the

victim. United States v. Corona-Verbera, 509 F.3d 1105, 1117 (9th Cir. 2007).

      AFFIRMED.
