Heading: Failure to make finding of felony offense.

Text: 4 Lester acknowledges that he failed to raise a timely objection to the district court's determination that Lester should be assigned the base offense level applicable under guideline section 2K2.1(b)(5). Lester maintains, however, that the district court's decision should be reviewed for plain error. We disagree. 5 The sentencing court is required to make findings as to allegations or conclusions in the sentencing report only when they are controverted by the defendant. Fed.R.Crim.P. 32(c)(3)(D). Lester did not make any attempt to controvert the presentence report's conclusion that his offense level should be enhanced four points because he used the firearm in connection with another felony offense, the drive-by shooting. Therefore, the court was not obligated to make a finding of the elements of the related felony offense, and no error was committed. United States v. Olano, 113 S.Ct. 1770, 1777-78 (1993). 6
