   MEMORANDUM

1. Advertising child pornography “to a particular subset of the public” violates 18 U.S.C. § 2251(d). United States v. Grovo, 826 F.3d 1207, 1218 (9th Cir. 2016). Peterson fails to explain how his actions differed from those in Grovo. See id at 1211-13, 1217-19. The district court therefore didn’t err in denying Peterson’s motion to acquit on the Section 2251(d) count.

2. To the extent Peterson challenges the jury instruction that defined “advertisement,” there was no error because the instruction “fairly and adequately cov-erted] the issues presented.” See United States v. Soulard, 730 F.2d 1292, 1303 (9th Cir. 1984).

3. The district court was entitled to believe Special Agent Frank Day when he said he didn’t use the hashing tools prohibited by the warrant. See United States v. Bynum, 362 F.3d 574, 578 (9th Cir. 2004) (“Factual findings underlying the denial of the motion are reviewed for clear error.”).

4. Nor did the district court commit plain error by allowing the prosecution to present redacted child pornography images to the jury. The government made a plausible argument as to why it needed to show the images to prove its case, and the court gave a cautionary instruction. See United States v. Ganoe, 538 F.3d 1117, 1123-24 (9th Cir. 2008) (jury could be shown a selection of child pornography images that “were highly probative of the state of mind with which the files were received and possessed”).

5.We grant the government’s pending unopposed motion to file its supplemental excerpt of record under seal.

AFFIRMED.
