                            June 24, 1999

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

PER CURIAM:*

     Gloria Washington Turner appeals the district court’s order

requiring her to pay a $4,000 fine in connection with her

conviction for conspiracy to commit social security fraud.

Turner contends only that the Presentence Report (“PSR”) shows

that it is “patently unrealistic” to assume that Turner can pay

her fine in $120 monthly installments, as ordered by the district

court.   Citing United States v. Fair, 979 F.2d 1037, 1041 (5th

Cir. 1992), Turner argues that the Government failed to provide

information showing that Turner has an ability to pay the fine

     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 98-31288
                                 -2-

and that the district court failed to make specific findings

regarding Turner’s ability to pay.

     Turner concedes that the standard of review is plain error

because she failed to object to the imposition of a fine in the

district court.    See United States v. Landerman, 167 F.3d 895,

899 (5th Cir. 1999).   To demonstrate plain error, an appellant

must show clear or obvious error that affects her substantial

rights; if she does, this court has discretion to correct a

forfeited error that seriously affects the fairness, integrity,

or public reputation of judicial proceedings, but is not required

to do so.    United States v. Calverley, 37 F.3d 160, 162-64 (5th

Cir. 1994) (en banc) (citing United States v. Olano, 507 U.S.

725, 730-35 (1993)).

     The Sentencing Guidelines provide that the “court shall

impose a fine in all cases, except where the defendant

establishes that [she] is unable to pay and is not likely to

become able to pay any fine.”   U.S.S.G. § 5E1.2(a).   A defendant

bears the burden of proving her inability to pay a fine.

Landerman, 167 F.3d at 899.   “The defendant may rely on the

presentence report in order to establish [her] inability to pay

the fine.”    Id. (citing Fair, 979 F.2d at 1041).

     As in Landerman, the PSR indicates that Turner has some

ability to pay the fine.    See 167 F.3d at 899-900.   Unlike Fair,

in which the probation officer stated that the defendant did not

appear to have the ability to pay a fine in installments, see 979

F.2d at 1040, the probation officer stated that it would be

“difficult” for Turner to pay a fine and suggested that, if a

                                 -3-

fine was imposed, that Turner be permitted to pay the fine in

installments.    Turner has a history of gainful employment and is

still relatively young.    Turner has failed to establish plain

error.   The judgment is

     AFFIRMED.
