Appeal from the United States District Court

February 10, 1998
Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Patrick Dean Cooks appeals his conviction and sentence for
possession with intent to distribute cocaine base, in violation
of 21 U.S.C. § 841. He argues that the district court erred in
holding him accountable, for purposes of sentencing, for the
entire amount of cocaine base found in the vehicle in which he
was traveling. The district court did not clearly err in finding
that Cooks was part of a jointly undertaken criminal activity and
that the entire amount of cocaine base was foreseeable to him,
thus making him accountable for the entire amount. See United

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
