United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ____________ United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit No. 25-60367 Summary Calendar FILED June 12, 2026 ____________ Lyle W. Cayce United States of America, Clerk Plaintiff—Appellee, versus Lonnie Everill, Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi USDC No. 3:24-CR-33-1 ______________________________ Before Elrod, Chief Judge, and Smith and Stewart, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:* Lonnie Everill appeals the 120-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for receipt of child sexual-abuse material in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(2) and (b)(1). He argues that the district court erred in applying a two-level enhancement under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines § 2G2.2(b)(3)(F) for the knowing distribution of child pornography.

No. 25-60367

Even if we assume without deciding that the district court clearly erred in applying the § 2G2.2(b)(3)(F) enhancement, we are satisfied that, given the record, the government has carried its burden of demonstrating that any error was harmless. See United States v. Ibarra-Luna, 628 F.3d 712, 714, 717–19 (5th Cir. 2010).

AFFIRMED.
