Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

Garcia argues that the district court’s findings of fact and
its reliance on the presentence report (PSR), which the court

participant, pursuant to § 3B1.2. We have carefully reviewed the
record and the appellate briefs. We conclude that the district
court’s findings, concerning the drug quantity for which Garcia
is held accountable, are adequate. See United States v.
Castillo, 77 F.3d 1480, 1495 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 117 S. Ct.
180 (1996). The court’s finding as to Garcia’s role in the
offense was not clearly erroneous. See United States v. Gaytan,
74 F.3d 545, 561 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 117 S. Ct. 77 (1996).
AFFIRMED.
