UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

PEDRO DEANDA,

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (USDC No. V-00-CR-40-1) _______________________________________________________ December 15, 2000

Before REAVLEY, DeMOSS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Defendant-appellant Pedro Deanda pleaded true to the allegation that he

violated a term of his supervised release. He argues that under 18 U.S.C. §

* 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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 3583(e)(3), amended by

(h), the district court lacked the power to

sentence him to a term in prison followed by supervised release. This argument was

decided against him in Johnson v. United States,

(2000).

Despite appellant’s disagreement with Johnson, it is the law.

AFFIRMED.
