No. 99-40801 Conference Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
WESLEY ERON WHITE,
Defendant-Appellant.
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 1:98-CR-141-1 -------------------- February 17, 2000
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Wesley Eron White appeals the sentence imposed by the
district court upon White’s guilty-plea conviction of mailing
nonmailable material in violation of
18 U.S.C. § 1461. White
argues that the district court erred in applying U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1
to enhance his sentence on account of obstruction of justice.
A district court’s finding that a defendant has obstructed
justice under § 3C1.1 is a factual finding reviewed for clear
error. United States v. Storm,
36 F.3d 1289, 1295(5th Cir.
1994). Based upon our review of the record, we conclude that the
district court did not err in enhancing White’s sentence either
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 99-40801 -2-
because White provided a materially false statement to postal
investigators or because White provided materially false
information to the probation officer conducting the presentence
investigation. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the district court’s
judgment.
AFFIRMED.
