FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FEB 26 2015 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, No. 14-30030 D.C. No. 9:13-cr-00019-DLC v. MEMORANDUM* STEPHEN SALVATORE INTRIERI, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Montana Dana L. Christensen, Chief Judge, Presiding Submitted February 17, 2015** Before: O’SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges. Stephen Salvatore Intrieri appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 30-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Intrieri contends that the district court erred by applying the sophisticatedmeans enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1(b)(10)(C). We review the district court’s interpretation of the Guidelines de novo and its factual findings for clear error. See United States v. Tanke, 743 F.3d 1296, 1306 (9th Cir. 2014). The district court did not err by applying the enhancement because Intrieri used multiple aliases and set up a fake business in another jurisdiction to deceive his victims. See U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1 cmt. n.9(B); Tanke, 743 F.3d at 1307-08 (enhancement may be imposed even when concealment efforts are not highly complex). AFFIRMED. 2 14-30030
