United States Fifth Circuit

A sentence for a drug related offense is affirmed where the district court properly applied a two-level offense enhancement for defendant's acting as the captain or the pilot of a boat that was carrying a controlled substance as no special skills are required for application of the enhancement, and defendant's driving a boat containing contraband was enough.
