v.

DAVID ERIC GARCIA

                                                   Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:99-CR-22-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       David Eric Garcia appeals from three consecutive sentences of 24 months
of imprisonment imposed following revocation of his supervised release. He
argues that the district court lacked the authority to order that his federal
sentences run consecutively to an as-yet-unimposed state sentence.                         He
concedes, however, that this argument is foreclosed. See United States v. Brown,
920 F.2d 1212, 1216-17 (5th Cir. 1991), abrogated on other grounds, United
States v. Candia, 454 F.3d 468, 472-73 (5th Cir. 2006).
       AFFIRMED.

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
