Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 95-10821 Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

ERIC JOSEPH STAAB,

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (4:95-CR-48-A)

November 28, 1995 Before GARWOOD, JONES and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Eric Joseph Staab appeals his sentence on conviction of wire

fraud. He contends solely that the district court erred by

adjusting his offense level upward for his role as a manager or

supervisor. We have reviewed the record and hold that the district

court’s finding that Staab was a manager or supervisor is not

clearly erroneous. See United States v. Palomo, 998 F.2d 253, 257

(5th Cir.), cert. denied, 114 S.Ct. 358 (1993).

* Local Rule 47.5 provides: “The publication of opinions that have no precedential value and merely decide particular cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession.” Pursuant to that Rule, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published.
