No. 03-41590.

422 F.3d 240 (2005)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jose Luis BETANCOURT, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

August 17, 2005.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John Richard Berry, Asst. U.S. Atty. (argued), James Lee Turner, Asst. U.S. Atty., Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Baltazar Salazar (argued), Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before GARWOOD, SMITH and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

EDITH BROWN CLEMENT, Circuit Judge:

Jose Luis Betancourt was convicted of drug trafficking and forced to forfeit his interest in Texas lottery winnings of over $5 million because the ticket was purchased with proceeds of that trafficking. He appeals his sentence of 292 months and the forfeiture. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' submissions, we find no error in the sentencing or forfeiture and affirm the judgment of the district court.
