UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Kelly Wooderson BURKETT, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 15-10945 Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed April 6, 2017
    James Wesley Hendrix, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Leigha Amy Simonton, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Kevin Joel Page, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, for Defendant-Appellant
    Kelly Wooderson Burkett, Pro Se
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Kelly Wooderson Burkett pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Burkett argues that, because she was not involved in importation, the district court erred by imposing a two-level importation enhancement. She acknowledges that this argument is foreclosed by United States v. Foulks, 747 F.3d 914, 915 (5th Cir. 2014).

She also argues that the district court erred by increasing her offense level by two levels, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1, because she attempted to obstruct or impede justice. The district court stated specifically that even if it erred by applying the enhancement, it would have imposed the same sentence. Accordingly, any error in applying the enhancement is harmless. See United States v. Gutierrez-Mendez, 752 F.3d 418, 429-30 (5th Cir. 2014); see also United States v. Shepherd, 848 F.3d 425, 427-28 (5th Cir. 2017).

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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
