Appeal from the United States District Court

May 26, 1997
Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Thomas Jones appeals from his sentence following his guilty-
plea conviction for possession with intent to distribute cocaine
base. He argues that the district court erred by increasing his
offense level by two pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1 for obstruction
of justice. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Based upon the testimony at the sentencing hearing, the
district court did not err by increasing Jones’ offense level for
obstruction of justice. See United States v. Cabral-Castillo, 35
