Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
John David Vanwinkle (Vanwinkle) appeals his sentence for distribution of pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture methamphetamine, a violation of 21 U.S.C. § 843(a)(7) and (d)(2). Vanwinkle argues that the district court erred in applying the U.S.S.G. § 2D1.12 cross reference, thereby holding him accountable under § 1B1.3 (Relevant Conduct) for the manufacturing of methamphetamine performed by others.
Specifically, Vanwinkle contends that there was not sufficient evidence presented to prove that he agreed to jointly undertake the activity of manufacturing methamphetamine or that it was reasonably foreseeable to him that the pseudoephedrine he sold to the informant would be used to manufacture methamphetamine.
Vanwinkle failed to present rebuttal evidence at the sentencing hearing. The facts in the PSR and testimony presented at the hearing have an adequate evidentiary basis to support the district court's finding. United States v. Puig-Infante, 19 F.3d 929, 942 (5th Cir.1994). Therefore, the district court did not clearly err in holding Vanwinkle accountable under the relevant conduct provision in the Guidelines for the manufacturing of methamphetamine performed by others. United States v. Cooper, 274 F.3d 230, 238 (5th Cir.2001).
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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
