UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Kevin Ray HALL, Defendant-Appellant, 147 F. App'x 403

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES PER CURIAM: We previously affirmed the sentence imposed following Kevin Ray Hall’s resenfencing. United States v. Hall, No. 04-20326 (5th Cir. Jan. 14, 2005) (unpublished). The Supreme Court has vacated and remanded for further consideration in light of United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). We requested and received supplemental letter briefs addressing the impact of Booker.

Hall argues that his Sixth Amendment rights were violated because his guidelines range and sentence were increased based on the district court’s finding that the firearm he possessed was stolen. He also contends that the district court erred by sentencing him under a mandatory guidelines scheme. Hall asserts that the error in applying the guidelines as mandatory is structural and that prejudice should be presumed. Hall concedes that his structural error and presumed prejudice arguments are foreclosed and raises them simply to preserve further review. See United States v.

Malveaux, 411 F.3d 558, 561 n. 9 (5th Cir.2005), cert. denied — U.S. -, 126 S.Ct. 194, — L.Ed.2d - (2005). Because Hall did not raise Sixth Amendment error or the mandatory application of the guidelines as issues before the district court, plain error review applies. See United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 520-21 (5th Cir.2005), cert. denied — U.S. -, 126 S.Ct. 43, - L.Ed.2d - (2005). This court may correct forfeited errors only when the appellant shows the following factors: (1) there is an error, (2) that is clear or obvious, and (3) that affects his substantial rights. United States v.

Calverley, 37 F.3d 160, 162-64 (5th Cir.1994) (en banc) (citing United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 731-37, 113 S.Ct. 1770, 123 L.Ed.2d 508 (1993)). If these factors are established, the decision to correct the forfeited error is within the sound discretion of the court, and the court will not exercise that discretion unless the error seriously affects the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings. Olano, 507 U.S. at 735-36, 113 S.Ct. 1770.

To establish plain error under Mares, Hall must demonstrate that the district court would have reached a significantly different result had he been sentenced under advisory guidelines. Mares, 402 F.3d at 521. As Hall concedes, he cannot make this showing. In our prior decision, we held that Hall’s challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence of interstate commerce was barred by the law of the case doctrine. Because Booker does not change this result, that portion of our prior decision is reinstated. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 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.
