OPINION
MINGE, Judge.
Appellant contends that the district court’s assignment of a Minnesota Offense Code (MOC) to his offense is (1) a denial of his Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial under Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004); and (2) erroneous. Because the assignment did not enhance his sentence beyond the presumptive guidelines sentence and because there is a basis in the record for the assignment, we affirm.
