    Charles R. Fulbruge III
    Clerk
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff-Appellee,
    v.
    RICHARD HAMPSHIRE,
    Defendant-Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    No. 4:06-CR-196-ALL
    Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Richard Hampshire appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea
    conviction of escape in violation of 
    21 U.S.C. § 846
    . Hampshire contends the dis-
    *
    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    should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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. 06-20965
    trict court erred in failing to reduce his base offense level by four pursuant to
    U.S.S.G. § 2P1.1(b)(3).
    In United States v. Shaw, 
    979 F.2d 41
     (5th Cir. 1992), this court affirmed
    the denial of a § 2P1.1(b)(3) adjustment to a defendant who walked away from
    a federal prison camp that was similar to the one from which Hampshire es-
    caped. See Shaw, 
    979 F.2d at 42-43
    . Hampshire’s argument that his case is fac-
    tually distinguishable from Shaw is unavailing; he has failed to establish that
    the federal prison camp in which he was confined is similar to a community cor-
    rections center, community treatment center, or halfway house.
    Accordingly, the district court did not err in refusing to reduce the sen-
    tence under § 2P1.1(b)(3). See Shaw, 
    979 F.2d at 45
    ; Ruiz, 
    180 F.3d 675
    , 676
    (5th Cir. 1998). The judgment of sentence is AFFIRMED.
