Appeal from the United States District Court

Before SMITH, DUHÉ, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Elliot Drewery pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with
intent to distribute cocaine base and cocaine hydrochloride and to
carrying a firearm during and in relation to a drug-trafficking
crime. He appeals his conviction and sentence, contending that the
district court erred by refusing a two-level minor role in the
offense reduction, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2, and by failing to

rule on his objection to the PSR’s determination that he carried a
firearm in connection with a drug-trafficking offense.
Based upon the testimony presented at the sentencing hearing
and the information contained in the PSR, the district court did
not clearly err by refusing to grant the role in the offense
reduction. And, the court implicitly overruled Drewery’s objection
concerning the firearm charge to which, as noted, he had pleaded
guilty, and properly sentenced him to five years imprisonment for
his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1).
Accordingly, the judgment is
AFFIRMED.
