November 6, 1995
Before KING, SMITH, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Danyell Deoncore Waters appeals from the district court's
judgment of conviction, after entry of a conditional guilty plea,
for conspiring to possess with intent to distribute cocaine base.
He argues that the district court erred by denying his to
suppress, by increasing his base offense level pursuant to
U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1) for possession of a firearm during a drug-
trafficking offense, by failing to reduce his base offense level
*
Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions
that have no precedential value and merely decide particular
cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes
needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal
profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published.

§ 2D1.1 is violative of the Fourteenth Amendment as racially
discriminatory. Finding that the district court committed no
error and that Waters' contentions are unavailing, we AFFIRM.
