Conviction and sentence for transporting child pornography is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err in finding defendant was competent to stand trial; 2) the record before the district court was sufficient to support its finding that defendant's decision to waive the right to counsel was knowing, intelligent and voluntary; 3) the evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction; and 4) sentence was not unreasonable, nor did it violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.
