Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

       Federico DeLeon appeals the 120-month sentence he received

for conspiracy to possess cocaine with the intent to distribute

and for aiding and abetting the possession of cocaine with the

intent to distribute under 21 U.S.C. §§ 841, 846 and 18 U.S.C.

§ 2.       The district court was required to impose a minimum

sentence of 120 months under § 841(b)(1)(A)(ii).       DeLeon argues

that the district erred in calculating a guidelines sentencing

range of 87 to 108 months in prison.       As counsel for DeLeon
