Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JASON GREGORY NOBLE,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:00-CR-93-ALL
--------------------
June 29, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jason Noble appeals his sentence following his guilty-plea
conviction for making a false statement when obtaining a firearm.
He argues that the two guns he pawned and was attempting to
retrieve were solely for hunting purposes and that the district
court should have reduced Noble’s offense level by six levels in
accordance with U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(2).
We review the district court’s finding whether the firearms
were possessed solely for legitimate sporting or collection
purposes for clear error. See United States v. Shell, 972 F.2d
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 01-40116
-2-
548, 550, 553 (5th Cir. 1992). The district court’s finding that
the firearms were not solely for hunting, as alleged by Noble,
was sufficiently supported by the presentence report and the
record. The district court’s refusal to grant an offense level
adjustment based upon U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(2) was not clear error.
AFFIRMED.
