United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT July 16, 2004

Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 03-30937 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

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 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.
