JEFFREY RONALD BANKER,                           MEMORANDUM *

               Defendant - Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Oregon
                    Michael R. Hogan, District Judge, Presiding

Before:        CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

       Jeffrey Ronald Banker appeals from the 125-month sentence imposed upon

See U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1(a)(3); see also United States v. Gallegos-Gonzalez,

3 F.3d 325, 328 (9th Cir. 1993) (appellant’s classification as a career offender

under section 4B1.1 was proper).

      AFFIRMED.
