Docket

*1 Before WIENER, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: [*]

Silton Russell Goutreaux appeals his 188-month sentence of imprisonment for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine. He argues that the district court’s calculation of the amount of drugs that his offense involved rested on statements in the presentence report (PSR) that lacked sufficient indicia of reliability. However, Goutreaux fails to show that the information contained in the PSR was *2 Case: 16-11585 Document: 00514253954 Page: 2 Date Filed: 11/29/2017

materially untrue, inaccurate, or unreliable. See United States v. Harris , 702 F.3d 226, 229–31 (5th Cir. 2012). Goutreaux also challenges the two-level firearm enhancement in U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1). The district court’s determination that the enhancement applies is a factual finding, which we review for clear error. United States v. King , 773 F.3d 48, 52 (5th Cir. 2014). Goutreaux fails to show that the finding was not plausible in light of the record as a whole. See id.

AFFIRMED.
