1Opinion of the Court
ALARCON, Circuit Judge:
Timothy Booten appeals from the sentence imposed by the district court. Boo-ten seeks reversal on the following grounds:
One. Congress did not authorize the United States Sentencing Commission to adopt guidelines that would permit a district court to consider a juvenile court adjudication as part of a defendant’s criminal history in determining the appropriate sentence.
Two. The Sentencing Guidelines violate due process in equating a juvenile court adjudication with a criminal conviction.
We disagree with each contention and affirm.
