materially untrue, inaccurate, or unreliable. See United States v. Harris, 702
F.3d 226, 229–31 (5th Cir. 2012). Goutreaux also challenges the two-level
firearm enhancement in U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1).

The district court’s

determination that the enhancement applies is a factual finding, which we
review for clear error. United States v. King, 773 F.3d 48, 52 (5th Cir. 2014).
Goutreaux fails to show that the finding was not plausible in light of the record
as a whole. See id.
AFFIRMED.
