Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. W-02-CR-193-1

Before SMITH, DeMOSS AND STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Patrick Alexander Jones appeals his conviction and sentence for possession of cocaine base
with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a). He contends that there was insufficient
evidence to establish that the contraband was cocaine base (as opposed to some other variant of

cocaine). However, Jones has not shown that the factual finding was plain error in light of the expert
testimony offered at trial. See United States v. Dukes, 139 F.3d 469, 474 (5th Cir. 1998).
None of Jones’s arguments regarding sentencing merit relief. He has not shown that
testimony of a witness who had entered into a plea bargain with the government was incredible or
insubstantial on its face. See United States v. Bermea, 30 F.3d 1539, 1552 (5th Cir. 1994). Jones
has not shown that the district court clearly erred by arrogating money found on him to his drug
trade. See United States v. Johnston, 127 F.3d 380, 403 5th Cir. 1997). Finally, Jones has not shown
that the district court’s determination that he was running a prostitution ring related to his drug trade
was clearly erroneous. See United States v. Parker, 133 F.3d 322, 329-30 (5th Cir. 1998).
AFFIRMED.
