1Opinion of the Court
GRUENDER, Circuit Judge.
Hector Diego Paz, Jr. appeals his sentence after pleading guilty to sexual abuse of a minor within Indian country in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1153 and 2243(a). Paz argues that the distinct court 1 made findings of facts to impose a sentence in violation of Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004). He also argues that the district court’s written order of judgment and commitment does not meet the specificity requirement of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(c)(2). We affirm the sentence imposed by the district court.
