UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
CAROLYN PENRICE BELCHER,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:00-CR-65-ALL-A
--------------------
Before DeMOSS, BENAVIDES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Carolyn Penrice Belcher was convicted of one count of theft of
a money order issued by the Postal Service, and the district court
sentenced her to five years of probation. The district court
subsequently revoked her probation and sentenced her to serve 18
months in prison and a three-year term of supervised release.
Belcher argues on appeal that the district court reversibly
erred in sentencing her to serve 18 months in prison. She contends
that the district court neglected to consider proper sentencing

this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
factors and based her sentence on improper factors. She further
contends that her sentence is unreasonable and that it should be
considered an upward departure.
Because Belcher failed to object to her sentence, our review
is for plain error only. See United States v. McCullough, 46 F.3d
400, 401 (5th Cir. 1995). Belcher has not shown error, plain or
otherwise, in connection with her sentence. See United States v.
Wheeler, 322 F.3d 823, 828 (5th Cir. 2003); United States v. Pena,
125 F.3d 285, 287 (5th Cir. 1997). Accordingly, the district
court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
