Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:*
Adan Escamilla-Guerra is appealing the sentence imposed in
this case. The district court sentenced Escamilla-Guerra to 33
months of imprisonment for conspiracy to possess with intent to
distribute marijuana and eight months of imprisonment for failure
to appear in a criminal proceeding unrelated to the marijuana
offense. Escamilla-Guerra asserts that the sentence for the
failure-to-appear offense should have been imposed to run
concurrently with rather than consecutively to the sentence for

the marijuana offense. Escamilla-Guerra concedes that the
district court did not err in determining the combined offense
level for multiple offenses and determining that an offense level
of 20 is appropriate for his case. Escamilla-Guerra also
concedes that a sentencing range of 33 to 41 months of
imprisonment is appropriate for this offense level and his
Criminal History Category I. The imposition of a 33-month term
of imprisonment followed consecutively by an eight-month term of
imprisonment does not exceed the appropriate guidelines range of
33 to 41 months and conforms to the mandate of 18 U.S.C.
§ 3146(b)(2). The district court did not err in sentencing
Escamilla-Guerra. United States v. Matovsky, 935 F.2d 719, 721
(5th Cir. 1991).
AFFIRMED.
