UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Felix Claude MARTIN, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 93-10396.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Jan. 18, 1994.*
Decided Jan. 25, 1994.

Before: REINHARDT, O'SCANNLAIN and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM**

Felix Claude Martin appeals the restitution component of his sentence imposed following a guilty plea to carjacking in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2119, and use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(c)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291, and we affirm.

Martin argues the district court erred by ordering him to pay restitution in the amount of $1,167.76 immediately upon sentencing because he lacked any financial resources. We disagree.

Here, the district court based the restitution order on the amount of income which Martin will earn during his 10-year term of imprisonment. In light of the 10-year sentence and the modest restitution order, we hold that the court's order was lawful. See United States v. Jackson, 982 F.2d 1279, 1284-85 (9th Cir.1992) ("[I]f, at the end of ... [a sentence], the defendant demonstrates that he has made a good-faith effort at payment, but is unable to pay the full amount, he may petition the court for an extension of time for a remittitur.").

AFFIRMED.
