Before MURPHY, FAGG, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Gonzalo Castillo-Torrecilla appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed
after he pleaded guilty to knowingly transporting illegal aliens within the United
States for financial gain, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii), (A)(v)(II), and
(B)(i). At sentencing, over Castillo-Torrecilla’s objection, the district court imposed
an enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.1(b)(5) (offense-level enhancement for
intentionally or recklessly creating substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury
to another person), based on its finding that Castillo-Torrecilla had transported 18

      1
      The Honorable James E. Gritzner, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa.
persons, including himself, in a vehicle suited to seat 9-10. The court sentenced
Castillo-Torrecilla to 21 months imprisonment and 3 years supervised release. On
appeal, Castillo-Torrecilla challenges the enhancement.

       We find the district court did not clearly err in imposing the section 2L1.1(b)(5)
enhancement. See United States v. Kanatzar, 

, 814 (8th Cir. 2004)
(standard of review); United States v. Flores-Flores, 

, 863 (8th Cir.
2004) (upholding § 2L1.1(b)(5) enhancement based on overcrowded vehicle); United
States v. Ortiz, 

, 1079 (8th Cir. 2001) (per curiam) (same).

       Accordingly, we affirm. Castillo-Torrecilla’s motion to file a supplemental
brief in light of Blakely v. Washington, 

(2004), is denied.
