1Opinion of the Court

STEPHEN A. HIGGINSON, Circuit Judge:

Defendant Brandon Leal pleaded guilty to one count of transportation of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(1). The district court sentenced Leal to 240 months imprisonment and ordered Leal to pay $58,415 in restitution to "Andy," a victim depicted in Leal's materials. On appeal, Leal seeks to vacate the order of restitution, contending that it was imposed in violation of the proximate cause requirements described in Paroline v. United States , 572 U.S. 434 , 134 S.Ct. 1710 , 188 L.Ed.2d 714 (2014). We affirm the district court.
