Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
RAYMOND FONSECA,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. SA-98-CR-97-ALL
--------------------
August 21, 2000
Before JOLLY, SMITH, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
Raymond Fonseca challenges the district court’s imposition of
a sentencing enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(5). He contends
that the Government was required to show that the firearm
facilitated or potentially facilitated his other felonious conduct
in order to meet the “in connection with” requirement of §
2K2.1(b)(5). The Government was required to show only that the gun
“was readily available to him” in the course of the other felony
and that the weapon could have been used or possessed in connection
with the other felony offense. United States v. Condren, 18 F.3d
1
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
1190, 1199-1200 (5th Cir. 1994); United States v. Armstead, 114
F.3d 504, 511 (5th Cir. 1997). We have reviewed the record and
conclude that the court did not err in applying § 2K2.1(b)(5).
Fonseca’s sentence is therefore AFFIRMED.
