UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ROLANDO RODRIGUEZ, MD, also known as
Rolando Rodriguez-Samaniego,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. P-02-CR-355-1
--------------------
Before KING, Chief Judge, EMILIO M. GARZA and BENAVIDES, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Rolando Rodriguez pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the
possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Rodriguez’s
offense level was enhanced for obstruction of justice under
U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1. Rodriguez appeals the two-level enhancement.
The district court’s factual finding of obstruction of
justice is plausible in light of the record as a whole. Thus,
