UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee, versus MARIA INEZ CANTU,

Defendant-Appellant. ________________________________________________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-94-CR-158-1 _________________________________________________________________

April 21, 1998

Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Maria Inez Cantu appeals her sentence following her conviction

for conspiracy. She argues that the district court erred by

increasing her offense level by two pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1

for possession of a firearm. We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. Given the evidence in the PSR that a loaded

pistol was discovered on the headboard to the bed in the master

bedroom at Cantu’s residence next to a large amount of currency,

the district court did not err by increasing her offense level

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. pursuant to § 2D1.1(b)(1). Accordingly, the judgment of the

district court is

A F F I R M E D.
