sentencing guidelines. We review the court's legal interpretations of the guidelines de novo, United States v. Montano, 250 F.3d 709, 712 (9th Cir.2001), and the factual underpinnings of the court's rulings for clear error, United States v. Rodriguez-Cruz, 255 F.3d 1054, 1058 (9th Cir.2001). We conclude that no error occurred.
