PER CURIAM.

Cedric L. Roulette appeals the sentence imposed by the district court. Having reviewed the record, we reject Roulette's contention that the district court improperly enhanced Roulette's sentence for possession of a firearm. We also reject Roulette's argument that the sentence imposed was vindictive. The district court's sentence was correct and further discussion is not warranted. We affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
