May 19, 1997
Before JONES, DeMOSS and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Alfred Sanchez appeals his jury conviction of conspiracy to
possess with intent to distribute cocaine and attempting to
possess with intent to distribute cocaine. A rational trier of
fact could have found guilt beyond a reasonable doubt on both
issues. See United States v. Fierro, 38 F.3d 761, 768 (5th Cir.
1994); United States v. Jaramillo, 42 F.3d 920, 922-23 (5th
Cir.), cert. denied, 115 S. Ct. 2014 (1995). The district court
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.

did not clearly err in assessing a two-point adjustment for using
a firearm in connection with a drug trafficking offense. See
United States v. Rodriquez, 62 F.3d 723, 724 (5th Cir. 1995);
United States v. Carter, 953 F.2d 1449, 1459 (5th Cir. 1992).
Finally, the district court did not clearly err in finding that
Sanchez was not a minor participant. See United States v.
Zuniga, 18 F.3d 1254, 1261 (5th Cir. 1994); U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2.
AFFIRMED.
