Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD,1 Chief Judge, LAY and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge.

1
This is an appeal from a sentence imposed by the District Court.2  The appeal draws in question the propriety of a sentencing enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1) (possession of a dangerous weapon).  The findings of the District Court on that point are not clearly erroneous, and we therefore affirm.  No sufficient purpose would be served by a fuller opinion.

Affirmed.
