Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-95-CR-206-2
- - - - - - - - - -
October 23, 1996
Before POLITZ, CHIEF JUDGE, and JOLLY and HIGGINBOTHAM, CIRCUIT JUDGES.
PER CURIAM:*
Jerry Porter contends that the district court erred in
imposing a $5,000 fine in connection with his conviction and
sentence for armed bank robbery. The district court did not
clearly err in finding that Porter had the potential ability to
pay the fine in the future and did not abuse its discretion in
imposing the fine. United States v. Fair, 979 F.2d 1037, 1040-42
(5th Cir. 1992); United States v. Altamirano, 11 F.3d 52, 53 (5th
Cir. 1993).
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
No. 95-20388

AFFIRMED.
