Opinion

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT February 18, 2004 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 02-41691 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus JOSE GUADALUPE ESPINOZA-CARDENAS, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. L-02-CR-711-ALL -------------------- Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Jose Guadalupe Espinoza-Cardenas pleaded guilty to one count of illegal entry into the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1325. He was sentenced to eight months of imprisonment and one year of supervised release. Espinoza-Cardenas argues that there is a conflict between the written and oral judgments.

The written judgment contains a condition of supervised release prohibiting the possession of a dangerous weapon; the oral pronouncement of sentence did not mention this provision.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 02-41691 -2- For the reasons outlined in United States v. Torres-Aguilar, 352 F.3d 934, 935-38 (5th Cir. 2003), we conclude that the district court’s omission of the dangerous weapon prohibition during the oral pronouncement of sentence did not create a conflict with the sentence set forth in the judgment.

AFFIRMED.
