Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. C-01-CR-288-2

September 24, 2002
Before JOLLY, DAVIS and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Daniel Lee Corkell appeals his conviction and sentence for
knowingly possessing three firearms after having been convicted
of three violent felonies, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1)
and 924(e)(1). Corkell argues that there was insufficient
evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he knowingly
possessed the firearms and that there was an insufficient
connection between his possession of the firearms and the

burglary of a dwelling for purposes of his enhanced offense level
under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.4(b)(3)(A).
We have reviewed the record and the briefs submitted by the
parties and hold that the evidence adduced at trial was
sufficient to support Corkell’s conviction. See United States v.
Izydore, 167 F.3d 213, 219 (5th Cir. 1999); United States v.
Ortega Reyna, 148 F.3d 540, 543 (5th Cir. 1998). Furthermore,
the district court did not err, plainly or otherwise, in
assessing Corkell’s offense level pursuant to U.S.S.G.
§ 4B1.4(b)(3)(A). See United States v. Guerrero, 5 F.3d 868,
871-73 & n.6 (5th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
