MEMORANDUM***


3
Identification of U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3 as a basis for upward departure in both the presentence report and the probation officer's memorandum provided adequate notice of a possible upward departure.   See  United States v. Brady, 928 F.2d 844, 847 (9th Cir.1991);   United States v. Nuno-Para, 877 F.2d 1409, 1415 (9th Cir.1989).


4
The departure was valid under  United States v. Lira-Barraza, 941 F.2d 745 (9th Cir.1991).   Section 4A1.3 furnished a "legal authority to depart."   Id. at 746.   There was no "clear error [in the] factual findings supporting the existence of the ... circumstance[s]" supporting the departure--defendant's record was replete with past crimes not reflected in his criminal history score.   Id. at 746-47.   And the district court did not abuse its discretion in adjusting the criminal history category from II to III, a departure which added 3 months to what would have been a 21 month sentence.   Id. at 747-51.


5
Finally, defendant adduced no evidence supporting his contention that the district court erred in finding he intended to defraud the bankruptcy estate.   Herriford transferred, without payment, land worth at least $50,000 to Cindy Allen, who afterwards called the United States Trustee and admitted that the transfer was a sham.   An inevitable conclusion that Herriford intended to defraud arises, and he has done nothing to dispel it.


6
AFFIRMED.
