                            June 16, 1999

Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Michael Tyre Nobles appeals his convictions for conspiracy

to commit carjacking, conspiracy to use a firearm during and in

relation to a carjacking, and carjacking in violation of 18

U.S.C. §§ 371, 924(n), and 2119.   He argues that his

R. 47.5.4.

foreclosed by this court’s precedent.    See United States v.

Webster, 162 F.3d 308, 357-58 (5th Cir. 1998); United States v.

Haese, 162 F.3d 359, 366-68 (5th Cir. 1998).

     AFFIRMED.
