Bobbie L. Bordelon pleaded guilty to an indictment charging

§ 5G1.3 merely suggest that a sentence imposed on a defendant on
parole for an unrelated offense at the time of the instant
sentencing should be served consecutive to any time resulting
from a revoked parole term. This court, however, has ruled that

v. Alexander, 100 F.3d 24, 27 (5th Cir. 1996); United States v.
Reyes-Lugo, 238 F.3d 305, 309-10 (5th Cir. 2001). Accordingly,
the sentence is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
