MEMORANDUM **

Gilbert Ladonga appeals from his jury-trial conviction and 78-month sentence imposed for one count of criminal conspiracy and five counts of money laundering. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm but remand to the district court to correct clerical errors in the judgment.

Ladonga contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to consider or to explain adequately why it rejected his arguments for a role reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 and for a downward variance. The record reflects that the district court considered the arguments and adequately explained why neither a role adjustment nor a downward variance was warranted. See United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 995 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc).

To the extent that Ladonga contends that the district court erred by denying him a role adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2, the district court did not clearly err in denying the adjustment. See United States v. Cantrell, 433 F.3d 1269, 1282-83 (9th Cir.2006).

We remand to the district court with instructions to amend the judgment to delete reference to 21 U.S.C. § § 841(a)(1), 952 and 960, and replace it with the proper statute of conviction for money laundering, 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(2)(B)(i).

AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct the judgment.
