Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
CARLOS ADAN UMANA
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:06-CR-90-ALL
Before KING, DAVIS and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Carlos Adan Umana (Umana) appeals the sentence imposed following his
conviction for securities fraud. Umana argues that the Government breached
its promise in the plea agreement to recommend a sentence at the low end of the
applicable guidelines range. Because Umana did not raise this issue in the
district court, review is limited to plain error. See United States v. Munoz,
408 F.3d 222, 226 (5th Cir. 2005).

The Government's sentencing recommendation was included in his
presentence report, and the Government’s statements at sentencing were not
contrary to the recommendation. See United States v. Reeves, 255 F.3d 208, 211
(5th Cir. 2001). We also reject Umana’s assertion that the Government’s
statements triggered a “duty” to reiterate the recommendation at sentencing
pursuant to our prior decisions in United States v. Saling, 205 F.3d 764, 767 n.11
(5th Cir. 2000), and Reeves, 255 F.3d at 211. As Umana has not shown that the
Government breached the plea agreement, he has not shown plain error.
AFFIRMED.
