UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DAVID PICENA,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-00-CR-104-7
--------------------
October 25, 2001
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
David Picena appeals the sentence following his conviction
for one count of conspiring to transport aliens, a violation of
18 U.S.C. § 371. He argues that the district court erred in
declining to grant him a downward adjustment based on his minor
role in the conspiracy. The district court did not err in
determining that Picena was not entitled to this adjustment. See
United States v. Zuniga, 18 F.3d 1254, 1261 (5th Cir. 1994);
United States v. Devine, 934 F.2d 1325, 1340 (5th Cir. 1991).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
