Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:97-CR-105-2

July 21, 1998
Before KING, WIENER and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Shane Jude Romero appeals his sentence from his guilty-plea
conviction for carjacking. He argues that the district court
clearly erred in failing to reduce his offense level for
acceptance of responsibility. See U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1. We have
carefully reviewed the arguments and the appellate record. We
conclude that, in light of the standard of review which accords
great deference to the sentencing court’s § 3E1.1 determination,
no error ensued. See United States v. Vital, 68 F.3d 114, 120-21
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
(5th Cir. 1995); United States v. Siebe, 58 F.3d 161, 163 (5th
Cir. 1995); United States v. Watkins, 911 F.2d 983, 985 (5th Cir.
1990).
AFFIRMED.
