    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff-Appellee
    v.
    DREW JUSTICE WINDSOR, also known as Justice Windsor,
    Defendant-Appellant
    Appeals from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of Texas
    USDC No. 4:16-CR-132-18
    Before BENAVIDES, SOUTHWICK, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM: *
    Drew Justice Windsor pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent
    to distribute a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of
    methamphetamine. He now appeals his sentence.
    The district court did not clearly err by applying the dangerous weapon
    enhancement pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1).                  See United States v.
    Cisneros-Gutierrez, 
    517 F.3d 751
    , 764 (5th Cir. 2008). The district court’s
    * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
    be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 17-10115
    finding that Windsor’s coconspirator used an incorrect date in asserting that
    she frequently saw Windsor with a gun during drug deals is plausible in light
    of her assertion that she had known Windsor for two years prior to her arrest.
    See United States v. King, 
    773 F.3d 48
    , 52 (5th Cir. 2014). Windsor does not
    re-urge and therefore waives his argument challenging two witness statements
    that bolstered the co-conspirator’s assertion. See United States v. Pompa, 
    434 F.3d 800
    , 806 n.4 (5th Cir. 2005).
    Additionally, because the methamphetamine that Windsor received from
    the coconspirator had been imported from Mexico, the district court did not err
    by applying the § 2D1.1(b)(5) enhancement, regardless of whether he knew it
    was imported. See United States v. Serfass, 
    684 F.3d 548
    , 552 (5th Cir. 2012).
    His contention that the importation should have to constitute relevant conduct
    under U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3 does not establish error in the application of the
    § 2D1.1(b)(5) enhancement. See United States v. Foulks, 
    747 F.3d 914
    , 915
    (5th Cir. 2014).
    Finally, Windsor’s within-guideline sentence is entitled to a presumption
    of reasonableness. See Rita v. United States, 
    551 U.S. 338
    , 341 (2007). His
    argument that the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors fail to account for
    prevailing notions of what society deems a fair sentence amounts to a general
    disagreement with the propriety of the sentence imposed and does not suffice
    to show substantive unreasonableness. See Gall v. United States, 
    552 U.S. 38
    ,
    50-51 (2007); United States v. Rodriguez, 
    523 F.3d 519
    , 526 (5th Cir. 2008).
    The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
