Before BYE, BOWMAN, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.


       After a bench trial, Maurice Poindexter was convicted of being a felon in
possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Poindexter requested
that his federal sentence be ordered to run concurrently with his undischarged state
probation-revocation sentence. Rejecting that request, the district court1 imposed a

       The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Missouri.
120-month prison term to run consecutively to his state sentence, plus 3 years
supervised release. Poindexter appeals.

       Upon de novo review, see United States v. Ashley, 

, 852 (8th Cir.
2003), we affirm the sentence imposed by the district court, see United States v.
Smith, 

, 1047-48 (8th Cir. 2002) (U.S.S.G. § 5G1.3, comment. (n.6) is
binding on federal sentencing courts and mandates that sentence imposed on
defendant for crime committed during probation must run consecutively to any
resulting sentence for probation revocation).
