           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 5:04-CR-2232-ALL
                        --------------------

Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Jude Nathan Christian appeals the sentence imposed following

his guilty plea to transporting illegal aliens.   Christian argues

that the district court erred by ordering him to cooperate in the

collection of a DNA sample as a condition of his supervised

release.   As Christian concedes, such a claim is not ripe for

428 F.3d 1100, 1101-02 (5th Cir. 2005), petition for cert. filed

(Jan. 9, 2006) (No. 05-8662).   Christian seeks to preserve the

issue for further review by the Supreme Court.    Accordingly, the

     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
                          No. 05-40742
                               -2-

appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.   See id. at 1102.

     APPEAL DISMISSED.
