IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED December 10, 2008 No. 08-50301 Conference Calendar Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Plaintiff-Appellee v. BENJAMIN MICHAEL KOLLAR Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 3:07-CR-2307-ALL Before DAVIS, WIENER, and PRADO, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Benjamin Michael Kollar pleaded guilty to the charge of possession with intent to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana. Kollar has appealed, contending that the district court clearly erred in overruling his objection to the probation officer s drug-quantity determination. Kollar contends that the district court erred in extrapolating the quantity attributable to him as relevant conduct. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 08-50301 The district court s drug-quantity finding was based primarily on Kollar s own statements. The finding is not clearly erroneous because it is plausible in light of the record as a whole. See United States v. Cisneros-Guiterrez, 517 F.3d 751, 764 (5th Cir. 2008). Kollar has not shown that the district court abused its discretion in imposing the sentence. See Gall v. United States 128 S. Ct. 586, 596-97 (2007). The judgment is AFFIRMED. 2
