UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

versus
ANTHONY LEE JACOBS,
Defendant-
Appellant.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:03-CR-159-8-PNB
----------------------------------------------------------------
Before WIENER, STEWART, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Anthony Lee Jacobs appeals from his guilty-plea conviction for conspiring to fraudulently use
access devices, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 and 1029(a)(2). He argues that (1) his due process
rights were violated under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), by the suppression of exculpatory
evidence; (2) his sentence should not have been increased for being a manager or supervisor; and (3)
he should have been granted an adjustment for acceptance of responsibility. Jacobs’s Brady claim

was waived by his valid guilty plea. See United States v. Lampazianie, 251 F.3d 519, 526 (5th Cir.
2001); United States v. Diaz, 733 F.2d 371, 376 (5th Cir. 1984).
The district court’s application and interpretation of the federal sentencing guidelines is
reviewed de novo and the district court’s factual findings are reviewed for clear error. United States
v. Villanueva, __F.3d__, No. 03-20812, 2005 WL 958221 at *7-8 (5th Cir. Apr. 27, 2005).
Examination of the record shows that the district court’s findings that Jacobs was a manager or
supervisor pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1(b) and that Jacobs did not demonstrate acceptance of
responsibility for his offense were not clearly erroneous.
Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
