UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Stewart FEAZELL, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 96-4772.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Jan. 31, 1997.
Decided Feb. 13, 1997.
James W. Keenan, KEENAN & OOTEN, L.C., Fayetteville, WV, for Appellant.
Rebecca A. Betts, United States Attorney, Margaret A. Hickey, Assistant United States Attorney, Charleston, WV, for Appellee.
Before MICHAEL and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Stewart Feazell appeals from the sentence imposed by the district court after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting the taking and carrying away personal property of another in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2, 661 (1994). We affirm.
Feazell asserts that the district court erred in applying United States Sentencing Commission, Guidelines Manual, § 3C1.1 (Nov.1995), which provides for a two-level enhancement if "the defendant willfully obstructed or impeded, or attempted to obstruct or impede, the administration of justice during the investigation, prosecution, or sentencing of the instant offense." Where the district court's decision to make an adjustment is primarily a factual determination, this Court applies the clearly erroneous standard of review. United States v. Daughtrey, 874 F.2d 213, 217 (4th Cir.1989). During Feazell's sentencing hearing the district court determined that Feazell improperly circulated his presentence report to incite his friends to commit violence against potential government witnesses.* We find no clear error in the district court's determination that this conduct is sufficient to justify a § 3C1.1 enhancement. Accordingly, we affirm.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
Contrary to Appellant's assertion in this appeal, the enhancement was not based on subornation of perjury. Rather, the court adopted the findings in the presentence report, which included a suggestion that Appellant receive an obstruction of justice enhancement based on inciting violence against government witnesses
