    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, v. Charles William COOK, Defendant—Appellant.
    No. 03-50139.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted Jan. 29, 2004.
    Decided March 22, 2004.
    
      Richard Cheng, AUSA, San Diego, CA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Robert L. Swain, Esq., San Diego, CA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before: HAWKINS and FISHER, Circuit Judges, and WEINER, District Judge.
    
    
      
       The Honorable Charles R. Weiner, Senior United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, sitting by designation.
    
   MEMORANDUM

We affirm the district court’s sentencing determination. The images possessed by-Cook depicting a prepubescent girl engaged in vaginal intercourse with an adult male clearly portray “sadistic” conduct under United States Sentencing Guideline (U.S.S.G.) § 2G2.2. See United States v. Rearden, 349 F.3d 608, 615 (9th Cir.2003). Regardless of whether U.S.S.G. § 2G2.2(b)(3) contains a scienter requirement, in Trial Exhibits 4 and 11 the government introduced evidence sufficient to demonstrate that Cook in fact intended to possess sadistic material. See id. at 616. Because of the limited nature of the prior remand from this court the district court did not err in concluding that it had no authority to depart downward. See United States v. Matthews, 278 F.3d 880, 889 (9th Cir.2002).

We also DENY Cook’s motion for bail pending appeal for the reasons set forth in this disposition.

AFFIRMED
