Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ARLENE ACOSTA CUNA,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:02-CR-73-1-M
--------------------
Before JONES, STEWART, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Arlene Acosta Cuna appeals from her sentence for escape from
the custody of the Bureau of Prisons in violation of 18 U.S.C. §
751(a) and 18 U.S.C. § 4082. Cuna argues that the district court
erred in determining that her conviction for escape from a
community detention center was a crime of violence pursuant to
U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a).

No. 02-11152
-2-
Cuna’s knowing escape from a community detention center
constitutes a crime of violence within the meaning of the career
offender guideline. United States v. Ruiz, 180 F.3d 675, 677 (5th
Cir. 1999). Therefore, Cuna’s appeal lacks merit.
AFFIRMED.
