Before LOKEN, Chief Judge, BYE and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       The district court1 sentenced Shannon Kies to 87 months in prison after he pled
guilty to one count of theft of firearms from a federal firearms licensee. For the
reasons discussed below, we affirm his sentence.

       Kies argues the district court erred by denying downward adjustments for his
role in the offense and for his acceptance of responsibility, and by applying an
enhancement for obstruction of justice. Having reviewed the district court's factual

the Northern District of Iowa.
findings and legal conclusions under the applicable standards of review, we determine
there is no error. See U.S.S.G. §3C1.1, cmt. n.4(e); §3E1.1, cmt. n.4.

      Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
