trict court erred in failing to reduce his base offense level by four pursuant to
U.S.S.G. § 2P1.1(b)(3).
In United States v. Shaw, 979 F.2d 41 (5th Cir. 1992), this court affirmed
the denial of a § 2P1.1(b)(3) adjustment to a defendant who walked away from
a federal prison camp that was similar to the one from which Hampshire es-
caped. See Shaw, 979 F.2d at 42-43. Hampshire’s argument that his case is fac-
tually distinguishable from Shaw is unavailing; he has failed to establish that
the federal prison camp in which he was confined is similar to a community cor-
rections center, community treatment center, or halfway house.
Accordingly, the district court did not err in refusing to reduce the sen-
tence under § 2P1.1(b)(3). See Shaw, 979 F.2d at 45; Ruiz, 180 F.3d 675, 676
(5th Cir. 1998). The judgment of sentence is AFFIRMED.
