sufficient to support Corkell’s conviction. See United States v.
Izydore,
167 F.3d 213, 219(5th Cir. 1999); United States v.
Ortega Reyna,
148 F.3d 540, 543(5th Cir. 1998). Furthermore,
the district court did not err, plainly or otherwise, in
assessing Corkell’s offense level pursuant to U.S.S.G.
§ 4B1.4(b)(3)(A). See United States v. Guerrero,
5 F.3d 868,
871-73 & n.6 (5th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
