UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Roy J. JONES, Jr., Defendant-Appellant.

No. 06-30421

Summary Calendar.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Jan. 24, 2007.

Brett L. Grayson, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette, LA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Robert M. Marin, Federal Public Defender’S Office, Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette, LA, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before DeMOSS, STEWART, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: *

Roy J. Jones, Jr. appeals the sentence imposed by the district court following his guilty-plea conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Jones argues that the district court erred in increasing his offense level *483by four levels under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(5) for possessing the firearm in connection with the felony offense of cocaine possession.

Jones first asserts that the district court clearly erred in finding that he possessed cocaine. Based on the record as a whole, the district court’s finding that Jones possessed cocaine was plausible and therefore not clearly erroneous. See United States v. Condren, 18 F.3d 1190, 1199 (5th Cir. 1994).

Jones also argues that § 2K2.1(b)(5) is inapplicable to his case because his firearm possession did not occur in connection with the cocaine possession. The district court did not err in its application of § 2K2.1(b)(5) to Jones’s case. See United States v. Armstead, 114 F.3d 504, 512 (5th Cir.1997); Condren, 18 F.3d at 1199-1200.

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
