Appeal from the United States District Court for the

USDC No. 2:95-CV-351-PS
_________________________________________________________________
April 30, 1998
Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jimmy V. Williams, a federal prisoner (# 03225-043,) appeals
from the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to
vacate his sentence for using and carrying a firearm during a drug
trafficking offense.
Williams argues that his 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1) firearm
conviction was invalidated by the Supreme Court’s decision in

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Because Williams conceded at his guilty plea proceeding
that he had a handgun in his waistband while conducting a sale of
crack cocaine in a pickup truck, the evidence shows that Williams
knowingly “carried” a firearm during and in connection to a drug
trafficking offense. See United States v. Still, 102 F.3d 118, 124
(5th Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 118 S.Ct. 43 (1997). This conduct
was sufficient to support his § 924(c)(1) conviction. See id.
