PER CURIAM.

1

John Wright appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pleaded guilty to one count of manufacturing marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(a). Wright and a codefendant were arrested while transferring marijuana plants from a cornfield (where they had temporarily hidden the plants) to a van. A search of the van uncovered a duffel bag containing a loaded gun. The district court adopted the presentence report's offense-level calculation-including a two-level increase under U.S.S.G. Sec. 2D1.1(b)(1) for possession of a dangerous weapon-and sentenced Wright to 76 months imprisonment and 4 years supervised release, and imposed a $12,500 fine. Finding no error of fact or law, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
