Rebecca L. Hudsmith, Office of the Federal Public Defender, Lafayette, LA, for defendant-appellant.

Before REYNALDO G. GARZA, WIENER and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

This appeal requires us to decide whether the Sentencing Guidelines or the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, or both, require a district court to give a criminal defendant notice of its intention to use a defendant's letter to the court to reject the recommendations of the Presentence Report (PSR). We conclude that they do not and affirm the judgment of the district court.
