for the District of Arizona

Submitted April 26, 2016**
Before: McKEOWN, WARDLAW, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.

reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction

under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Ramirez-Nunez contends that the district court erred by denying him a
two-level adjustment for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(a).
The district court did not clearly err in determining that Ramirez-Nunez was not
entitled to the adjustment because he put the government to its burden of proof at
trial, denied knowingly entering the United States, and failed to demonstrate the
requisite contrition at sentencing. See U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 cmt. n.2; United States v.
Osinger, 753 F.3d 939, 948-49 (9th Cir. 2014).
AFFIRMED.
