                       Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the Eastern District of Texas
                                 USDC No. 4:18-CR-76-1
                       ______________________________

   Before King, Haynes, and Graves, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
           Raising two claims of error, Maritza Claudia Fernanda Lorza Ramirez
   appeals her conviction for obstruction of justice in violation of 18 U.S.C.
   § 1503 and 18 U.S.C. § 2.1 First, Lorza Ramirez has not shown clear or
   obvious error stemming from the exclusion of 18 U.S.C. § 1515(c) language
           _____________________

               This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
           1
             Lorza Ramirez failed to preserve the particular errors claimed on appeal, so we
   review them for plain error. Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009).
Case: 22-40726      Document: 00516883185          Page: 2      Date Filed: 09/05/2023

                                    No. 22-40726

   from the indictment. See United States v. Vasquez, 899 F.3d 363, 371, 373 (5th
   Cir. 2018); see also United States v. Peters, 349 F.3d 842, 849 (5th Cir. 2003);
   United States v. Wise, 221 F.3d 140, 148 (5th Cir. 2000). Second, Lorza
   Ramirez has not shown clear or obvious error in connection with the
   challenged jury instruction, which tracked Fifth Circuit Pattern Jury
   Instruction (Criminal Cases) 2.63A as well as the language of § 1515(c). See
   United States v. Fisch, 851 F.3d 402, 410 (5th Cir. 2017).
          Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
