UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
MELVIN OLIVER JAMES, JR.,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 01-CR-85-ALL-K
--------------------
August 21, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Melvin Oliver James, Jr., appeals from his sentence imposed
following the revocation of his supervised release. He argues
that the district court did not make an informed decision when it
imposed his sentence to run consecutively to the federal sentence
James was serving at that time. The record does not support
James’s argument.

No. 01-31285
-2-
James has failed to show that his sentence was in violation
of law or plainly unreasonable. See United States v. Rodriguez,
23 F.3d 919, 920 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the district
court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
