Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:94-CR-22-4
- - - - - - - - - -
December 19, 1995
Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appellant appeals from the district court's sentence of 33
months' imprisonment. He argues that the district court's
decision to depart upward from the sentencing guidelines was
unreasonable and that the court failed to explain adequately its
reasons for departing. We have reviewed the record and the
district court's reasons for departing and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, appellant's sentence is AFFIRMED.
*
Local Rule 47.5.1 provides: "The publication of
opinions that merely decide particular cases on the basis of
well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the
public and burdens on the legal profession." Pursuant to that
Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published.
