“Although a district court must resolve disputed issues of fact if it intends to use those facts as a basis for sentencing, see Fed.R.Crim.P. 32(c)(3)(D), the court can adopt facts contained in a PSR without inquiry, if those facts had an adequate evidentiary basis and the defendant does not present rebuttal evidence. United States v. Rodriguez, 897 F.2d 1324, 1328 (5th Cir.), cert, denied, 498 U.S. 857 , 111 S.Ct. 158 , 112 L.Ed.2d 124 (1990). Furthermore, the defendant has the burden of showing that information that the district court relied on in sentencing is materially untrue.”
