   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges]

   proceedings against him; evidence was sufficient to support defendant's
   conviction for sexual abuse of a child; district court did not err in finding
   it did not have authority to sentence defendant below the statutory
   minimum set out in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2241(c).
