MEMORANDUM*
Ranger Insurance Company and Henry Guerrero Bail Bonds appeal the forfeiture of a $50,000 surety bond. " [T]he Government may not enforce the obligation [of a bail bond] if its actions materially increase the risk of the surety without the surety's knowledge and consent." United States v. Galvez-Uriarte, 709 F.2d 1323, 1324 (9th Cir. 1983). The district court found that, under the circumstances in this case, the cooperation agreement between defendant Tirado-Aguilar and the Government did not increase the risk that the defendant would flee. These findings are not clearly erroneous, and we affirm the judgment of forfeiture.
AFFIRMED.
