MEMORANDUM **

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. *407We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Intrieri contends that the district court erred by applying the sophisticated-means enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2Bl.l(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.
