UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JUDE NATHAN CHRISTIAN,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:04-CR-2232-ALL
--------------------
Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jude Nathan Christian appeals the sentence imposed following
his guilty plea to transporting illegal aliens. Christian argues
that the district court erred by ordering him to cooperate in the
collection of a DNA sample as a condition of his supervised
release. As Christian concedes, such a claim is not ripe for
review on direct appeal. See United States v. Riascos-Cuenu,
428 F.3d 1100, 1101-02 (5th Cir. 2005), petition for cert. filed
(Jan. 9, 2006) (No. 05-8662). Christian seeks to preserve the
issue for further review by the Supreme Court. Accordingly, the

APPEAL DISMISSED.
