                           December 11, 2002

Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and JONES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Bobbie L. Bordelon pleaded guilty to an indictment charging

him with being a felon in possession of a firearm and making

false statements in application for a firearm in violation of 18

U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2).   Bordelon has appealed his

sentence.

     Bordelon argues that his sentence was imposed in error

because the plain language of the application notes for U.S.S.G.

        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                            No. 02-30552
                                 -2-

§ 5G1.3 merely suggest that a sentence imposed on a defendant on

parole for an unrelated offense at the time of the instant

sentencing should be served consecutive to any time resulting

from a revoked parole term.   This court, however, has ruled that

the application notes to that sentencing guideline do in fact

require that the sentence be served consecutively.    United States

v. Alexander, 100 F.3d 24, 27 (5th Cir. 1996); United States v.

Reyes-Lugo, 238 F.3d 305, 309-10 (5th Cir. 2001).    Accordingly,

the sentence is affirmed.

     AFFIRMED.
