PER CURIAM:
Tulain Wong appeals the thirty-nine month sentence imposed by
the district court following his plea of guilty to bank robbery, 18
U.S.C.A. § 2113(a) (West Supp. 2000). Wong contends that the dis-
trict court erred in enhancing his offense level pursuant to U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2B3.1(b)(2)(F) (1998) for making a
threat of death. We find that the content of the note that Wong
handed to the teller during the bank robbery is sufficient to
support the enhancement under USSG § 2B3.1(b)(2)(F). See United
States v. Franks,
183 F.3d 335, 338 (4th Cir. 1999). Wong’s con-
viction and sentence are accordingly affirmed. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
