                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Western District of Texas
                           USDC No. 4:05-CR-229-1

Before REAVLEY, DENNIS and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Ramon Sanchez Carbajal appeals his conditional guilty-plea conviction for

                                No. 06-50952

convince Carbajal to cooperate with their investigation. The totality of the
circumstances shows that Carbajal's statements were made without
governmental coercion. See United States v. Cardenas, 410 F.3d 287, 292-93 (5th
Cir. 2005); United States v. Bell, 367 F.3d 452, 461 (5th Cir. 2004).      The
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
