June 17, 1999
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ancelmo Coronado-Martinez (Coronado), appeals his guilty-
plea conviction for illegal reentry into the United States
following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and
(b). Coronado argues that the district court erred by applying
the 16-level increase pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b) because he
had been previously deported subsequent to an aggravated-felony
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

conviction for possession of marijuana. Coronado failed to raise
an objection at sentencing on this issue; therefore, this issue
is reviewed solely for plain error. Fed. R. Crim. P. 52(b);
United States v. Rodriguez, 15 F.3d 408, 414-15 (5th Cir. 1994);
United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 731-37 (1993). His
arguments regarding this issue are precluded by our decision in
United States v. Hinojosa-Lopez, 130 F.3d 691 (5th Cir. 1997).
This issue is without arguable merit and frivolous. The appeal
is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
