for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-00-CR-377-3

April 10, 2002
Before JOLLY, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jorge Collazo asserts that the district court erred in
upwardly adjusting his sentence for obstruction of justice
pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1. Collazo contends that his
misrepresentations regarding his identity were not willful, but

sentencing hearing any rebuttal evidence in support of his
objection, the district court was free to adopt the PSR’s finding
without further inquiry. See United States v. Vital, 68 F.3d
114, 120 (5th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, the district court did
not err, clearly or otherwise, in finding that Collazo obstructed
justice. See U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1, comment. (nn.2, 4(f)); United
States v. Storm, 36 F.3d 1289, 1295 (5th Cir. 1994). The
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
