Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Montana Richard F. Cebull, District Judge, Presiding, D.C. No. CR-03-00080-8-RFC

Before: O§SCANNLAIN, GRABER, and BEA, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Mildred Eaglefeathers appeals her 36-month sentence imposed following her guilty plea conviction to conspiracy to distribute a methamphetamine mixture within 1, 000 feet of a federal housing project, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846, and 860.

We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The facts are known to the parties and will not be repeated here.

Eaglefeathers contends that the district court violated her confrontation clause rights by admitting hearsay evidence at sentencing to determine the quantity of drugs for which she was accountable. We disagree. As we recently held, §the law on hearsay at sentencing is still what it was before Crawford [ v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004)]: hearsay is admissible at sentencing, so long as it is §accompanied by some minimal indicia of reliability.§§ United States v. Littlesun, 444 F.3d 1196, 1200 (9th Cir. 2006) (quoting United States v. Berry, 258 F.3d 971, 976 (9th Cir. 2001)).

AFFIRMED .
