                           February 10, 1999

Before DAVIS, DUHE’, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Latrice R. Romar appeals the sentence imposed after she

pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute

cocaine base.    Although the district court departed below the

range recommended by the United States Sentencing Guidelines in

imposing sentence, Romar argues that the court erred in refusing

to sentence her to lower than the statutory minimum based upon

her argument of “sentencing entrapment.”       We find that the

district court did not err in calculating the drug quantity

that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
