    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, v. Francisco VALENCIA, Defendant—Appellant.
    No. 02-30239.
    D.C. No. CR-01-00108-SEH.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted June 3, 2003.
    Decided June 13, 2003.
    Before HUG, B. FLETCHER, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.
   MEMORANDUM

We conclude that sufficient evidence exists to support the jury’s determination that Francisco Valencia committed the crime of sexual abuse of a minor by engaging in a sexual act with his minor cousin, Buffy Y. United States v. Carranza, 289 F.3d 634, 641 — 42 (9th Cir.2002).

Next, the district court did not abuse its discretion in excluding certain evidence about the relationship between Buffy and her mother, or an alleged conversation between Buffy and her mother regarding a false sexual abuse allegation against Buffy’s father in an unrelated prior incident. United States v. Payne, 944 F.2d 1458, 1469 (9th Cir.1991). We conclude that Valencia’s Sixth Amendment right was not violated. Lilly v. Virginia, 527 U.S. 116, 136-37, 119 S.Ct. 1887, 144 L.Ed.2d 117 (1999).

The district court is AFFIRMED.
