UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ERVIN LUVEAIL FONTENOT, also known as
“Iron” Fontenot,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-99-CR-411-1
--------------------
December 13, 2000
Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ervin Luveail Fontenot appeals his convictions on three
counts of making a false statement to a licensed firearms dealer
in an attempt to obtain a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
§§ 922(a)(6) and 924(a)(2). He first contends that the district
court committed plain error in issuing the jury instructions. He
has not shown that any error made by the district court affected
substantial rights. See United States v. Polk, 118 F.3d 286,
294-95 (5th Cir. 1997); United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725,
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 99-21135
-2-
732-35 (1993). Fontenot also contends that the district court
erred when it sustained the Government’s objection to a defense
request to review a government witness’s personal firearms
license. He has failed to show that the court abused its
discretion in its ruling. Consequently, Fontenot’s conviction is
AFFIRMED.
