Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Clive Anthony Brown appeals his sentence following a guilty

plea for illegal reentry into the United States following

deportation.   He argues that the presentencing report (PSR)

incorrectly calculated his criminal history score and that the

district court erred when it relied on the PSR’s recommended

sentencing range.   Specifically, he argues that the PSR should

have treated two separate weapons offenses as related offenses

when calculating his criminal history score because the two

                                 -2-

offenses were part of the same sentencing proceeding.    The issue

was not raised at sentencing; therefore, it is reviewed for plain

error.    United States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 983 (5th Cir.

2000), cert. denied, 121 S. Ct. 1214 (2001); United States v.

Calverley, 37 F.3d 160, 162-64 (5th Cir. 1994)(en banc).

     There was not enough information in the record to support a

finding that the two weapons offenses were related.     See United

States v. Huskey, 137 F.3d 283, 288 (5th Cir. 1988).    The

offenses occurred on April 7, 1986, and September 10, 1987.      As

reported in the PSR, they were factually unrelated to one another

and were charged in separate indictments.    Moreover, there is no

indication that they were consolidated under the same docket

number.    Accordingly, Brown’s sentence is AFFIRMED.
