                      USDC No. H-98-CR-344-2
                       --------------------
                           March 3, 2000

Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Minh Chinh Tran appeals the sentence imposed after his plea

of guilty to conspiracy to commit food stamp fraud and conspiracy

to launder money.   Tran’s argument that the district court lacked

a factual basis in calculating the value of the funds involved in

the crime pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2S1.1(b)(2).    The Presentence

Report sets forth facts and methodology used to calculate the

value.   Tran failed to present testimony, affidavit, or other

evidence to rebut the value as calculated in the PSR.     See United

States v. Puig-Infante, 19 F.3d 929, 943 (5th Cir. 1994); see

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 99-20639
