FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 98-40473
Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ALEJANDRO LICEA CERDA,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. M-97-CR-306-1
December 23, 1998
Before JOHNSON, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Alejandro Licea Cerda appeals his sentence imposed by the district
court following his guilty plea conviction for being a felon in
possession of a firearm. Cerda’s sole argument on appeal is that the
district court erred in applying the enhancement provision found in
section 2K2.1(b)(5) of the Sentencing Guidelines. He contends that his
possession of a firearm was not “connected to” his possession of
cocaine, both of which were found in his vehicle. After a thourough
review of the record and the applicable law of this Circuit, we hold
that the district court did not err in applying section 2K2.1(b)(5).
*
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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the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.
See United States v. Condren, 18 F.3d 1190, 1195-1200 (5th Cir. 1994).
AFFIRMED.
