Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
GLENN WAYNE KELLY,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 01-CR-50061-ALL
--------------------
May 2, 2002
Before DAVIS, BENAVIDES and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Glenn Wayne Kelly appeals from his sentence following his
guilty plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a
firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Kelly challenges
the district court’s four-point increase in the total offense
level for possession of a firearm “in connection with another
felony” pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(5). Kelly argues that
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

the Government did not establish that he possessed a firearm in
connection with a felony offense as required by § 2K2.1(b)(5).
The district court’s application of the § 2K2.1(b)(5)
enhancement will be upheld unless it is implausible in light of
the record as a whole. See United States v. Condren, 18 F.3d
1190, 1199 (5th Cir. 1994). The Government was required to show
only that the gun was available to Kelly and that the weapon
could have been used to facilitate the other crime. Condren, 18
F.3d at 1197-1200; United States v. Armstead, 114 F.3d 504, 511-
512 (5th Cir. 1997). We have reviewed the record and conclude
that the district court did not err in applying § 2K2.1(b)(5).
Kelly’s sentence is therefore AFFIRMED.
