          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Eastern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 4:03-CR-106-2
                       --------------------

Before JONES, BENAVIDES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Jeromy Shawn Hamilton appeals the sentence that he received

after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and to

possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of

methamphetamine.   21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a), 846.   Hamilton argues that

R. 47.5.4.

show that the district court erred when it attributed 255.7

grams of Methamphetamine (actual) and 27.2 grams of “ice” to him.

See United States v. Medina, 161 F.3d 867, 876 (5th Cir. 1998);

United States v. Lowder, 148 F.3d 548, 552 (5th Cir. 1998).

     AFFIRMED.
