UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
CEDRIC DWAYNE MASON,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:03-CR-38-1-RC-WCR
--------------------
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Cedric Dwayne Mason appeals the sentence imposed following
his conviction for possession with intent to distribute cocaine
base. He contends that he should have received a reduction in
his offense level for acceptance of responsibility, even though
he was arrested for similar conduct while on bail for the instant
offense. He also failed to comply with other terms of pretrial
release, and he had to be arrested to compel his presence at
pretrial proceedings.
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 04-40917
-2-
Mason did not carry his burden of showing that the district
court committed clear error by refusing to reduce his sentence
for acceptance of responsibility. See United States v. Flucas,
99 F.3d 177, 180 (5th Cir. 1996). The judgment of the district
court is AFFIRMED.
