           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                       USDC No. 3:03-CR-15-1
_________________________________________________________________

Before REAVLEY, JOLLY, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     After review of the briefs and record in this case we are

convinced that the confession at issue is admissible in the light

of Oregon v. Elstad, 470 U.S. 298 (1985), and Missouri v. Seibert,

542 U.S. 600 (2004), the ultimate holding of which we find in

Justice Kennedy’s concurrence.

     The judgment of the district court is thus

                                                           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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
