                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Southern District of Texas
                           USDC No. 2:06-CR-794-1

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Ronnie Raynard Brooks was convicted of two charges of aiding and

      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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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. 07-40479

adjustment under the plain language of the pertinent Guideline. See U.S.S.G.
§ 2L1.1(b)(1); United States v. Villanueva, 408 F.3d 193, 203 (5th Cir. 2005).
Brooks has failed to show error in connection with his sentence. Consequently,
the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
