              The Honorable Jed S. Rakoff, Senior District Judge for the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York, sitting by designation.
      Eric Lopez-Salas appeals the sentence imposed by the district court, following

his guilty plea to making a false statement within the jurisdiction of the federal

government, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1291, and we affirm.

      The district court did not clearly err in finding that the uncharged acts of fraud

constituted relevant conduct for the purpose of calculating the offense level, because

the charged conduct and uncharged acts of fraud were part of a common scheme

connected by a common purpose and featuring the same actors. See United States v.

Tulaner, 512 F.3d 576, 578-79 (9th Cir. 2008).

      AFFIRMED.
