47.5.4.
provision of 21 § 924(e)(1) and U.S.S.G. § 4B1.4(a). See United States v. Garcia, 962 F.2d 479,

481 (5th Cir. 1992).

that property with a photocopy is DENIED. This motion is more properly submitted to the

district court on the return of the record to that court following the close of this appeal.
