April 12, 2000
Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Soyla Longoria appeals the district court’s refusal to award
her a three-level reduction in her guideline offense level
pursuant to § 2L1.1(b)(1) of the guidelines. She argues that she
did not commit the offense for profit, and is therefore entitled
to the reduction. The district court found her claim of a
nonprofit motive not to be credible, and Longoria has not shown
clear error in that finding. See United States v. Causey, 185
F.3d 407, 420 (5th Cir. 1999); United States v. Cuellar-Flores,
891 F.2d 92, 93 (5th Cir. 1989).
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 99-20598

Longoria’s conviction and sentence are therefore AFFIRMED.
