PER CURIAM:
Following his guilty plea to one count of possession with
intent to distribute cocaine base (21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a)(1) (West
1999)), and one count of felon in possession of a firearm (21
U.S.C.A. § 922(g) (West 2000)), Jerry J. Rhodes was sentenced to
concurrent sixty-month prison terms. Rhodes appeals, claiming that
the district court erred by adding one point to his criminal his-
tory score pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 4A1.1(e)
(1998). We find no merit to his claim. Consequently, we affirm
Rhodes’ conviction and sentence. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
