v.

DAMEYON ANTOINE NEWTON,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:16-CR-60-1


Before KING, ELROD, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Dameyon Antoine Newton pleaded guilty of conspiracy to possess with
intent to distribute a controlled substance, and he was sentenced within the
guidelines range to a statutory-maximum 240-month term of imprisonment
and to a three-year period of supervised release.              In this appeal, Newton
contends that the district court erred in overruling his objection to adjustment
of his guidelines offense level by two levels pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1(c)


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 16-11768

because he was an organizer, leader, manager, or supervisor of criminal
activity.
      The district court’s finding that Newton was an organizer, leader,
manager, or supervisor in the drug conspiracy was plausible and was not
clearly erroneous. See United States v. Ochoa-Gomez, 777 F.3d 278, 281-82
(5th Cir. 2015).     The record reflects that Newton exercised management
responsibility over property, assets, or activities of the drug conspiracy. See
§ 3B1.1, comment. (n.2); Ochoa-Gomez, 777 F.3d at 283-84. The judgment is
AFFIRMED.
