The following excerpt is from United States v. Alvirez, No. 11-10244 (9th Cir. 2016):
A defendant does not waive his right to appeal a district court's legal determinations simply because he failed to object. See United States v. Jimenez, 258 F.3d 1120, 1123 (9th Cir. 2001). Instead, we review for plain error. See id. at 1124.
