Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
PATRICK CONNELLY,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 02-CR-307-8-C
Before JOLLY, JONES and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Patrick Connelly appeals his sentence following his
guilty plea convictions of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine
and unlawful use of a communication facility. Connelly argues that
the district court erred in finding by a preponderance of the
evidence that he was responsible for over 20 grams of
methamphetamine, as the testimony upon which this finding was based
was not sufficiently reliable. The testimony upon which the

district court relied for sentencing did possess “sufficient
indicia of reliability to support its probable accuracy.” See
United States v. Medina, 161 F.3d 867, 876 (5th Cir. 1998).
AFFIRMED.
