Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 01-31285 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

MELVIN OLIVER JAMES, JR.,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 01-CR-85-ALL-K -------------------- August 21, 2002

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Melvin Oliver James, Jr., appeals from his sentence imposed

following the revocation of his supervised release. He argues

that the district court did not make an informed decision when it

imposed his sentence to run consecutively to the federal sentence

James was serving at that time. The record does not support

James’s argument.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. No. 01-31285 -2-

James has failed to show that his sentence was in violation

of law or plainly unreasonable. See United States v. Rodriguez,

23 F.3d 919, 920 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the district

court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
