UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

WILBURN RICHARD HOLLANDER,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. H-02-CR-333-1

--------------------

Before JOLLY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Wilburn Richard Hollander appeals from the sentence imposed

pursuant to his guilty-plea conviction for receiving or

possessing firearms that were not registered to him in the

National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. He argues

that the district court erred by denying application of an

adjustment for acceptance of responsibility, pursuant to U.S.S.G.

§ 3E1.1. This court “will affirm a sentencing court’s decision

not to award a reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 unless it is

without foundation.” United States v. Solis, 299 F.3d 420, 458

(5th Cir. 2002)(internal quotations marks and footnote omitted).

Hollander’s contention that the Government’s evidence

produced at sentencing was incredible lacks merit. As there was

an evidentiary foundation for the district court’s denial of an

adjustment for acceptance of responsibility, the district court’s

judgment is AFFIRMED.
