UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Efren Enrique SAENZ-CASTANEDA, also known as Efren E. Saenz-Castaneda, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 06-51194
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    June 19, 2007.
    Joseph H. Gay, Jr., Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Suite B-207, Federal Public Defender’s Office Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Defendantr-Appellant.
    Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Efren Enrique Saenz-Castaneda (Saenz) appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to possession with intent to distribute marijuana. He argues that the district court clearly erred in denying him a minor-role adjustment pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2. The district court’s finding that Saenz was not a minor participant was plausible in light of the record as a whole and, thus, not clearly erroneous. See United States v. Villanueva, 408 F.3d 193, 203-04 (5th Cir.2005).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
