MEMORANDUM **

Charles Stephen Manley appeals from the 96-month sentence imposed after remand pursuant to United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Manley contends that the district court erred by enhancing his sentence by four levels for possessing a firearm in connection with another felony offense, under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(5). We disagree.

We conclude that the underlying facts demonstrate, “the firearm was possessed in a manner that permits an inference that it facilitated or potentially facilitated — i.e., had some potential emboldening role in — a defendant’s felonious conduct.” United States v. Routon, 25 F.3d 815, 819 (9th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the enhancement was proper. See id.

AFFIRMED.
