IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

_____________________ No. 95-20806 Summary Calendar _____________________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus MARIA INEZ CANTU, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________________________________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-94-CR-158-1 _________________________________________________________________ April 21, 1998 Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Maria Inez Cantu appeals her sentence following her conviction for conspiracy. She argues that the district court erred by increasing her offense level by two pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1 for possession of a firearm. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Given the evidence in the PSR that a loaded pistol was discovered on the headboard to the bed in the master bedroom at Cantu’s residence next to a large amount of currency, the district court did not err by increasing her offense level pursuant to § 2D1.1(b)(1). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is A F F I R M E D.
