UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
TREVOR WILLIAMS,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 98-CR-207-12-N
--------------------
April 11, 2002
Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Trevor Williams appeals the sentence following his
conviction for solicitation to commit murder and using and
carrying a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime.
Williams argues that the district court erred in imposing a
$20,000 fine because he is indigent and will likely remain
indigent upon his release from prison.
Because Williams waived the right to appeal his sentence,
including the $20,000 fine imposed by the district court, his
sentence is affirmed. See United States v. Robinson, 187 F.3d

516, 517 (5th Cir. 1999). Even if Williams did not waive the
right to appeal his sentence, the district court’s imposition of
the fine was not erroneous. See United States v. Martinez, 151
F.3d 384, 395-96 (5th Cir. 1998).
AFFIRMED.
