PER CURIAM:*
Jerry Porter contends that the district court erred in imposing a $5,000 fine in connection with his conviction and sentence for armed bank robbery. The district court did not clearly err in finding that Porter had the potential ability to pay the fine in the future and did not abuse its discretion in imposing the fine. United States v. Fair, 979 F.2d 1037, 1040-42 (5th Cir. 1992); United States v. Altamirano, 11 F.3d 52, 53 (5th Cir. 1993).
* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
No. 95-20388 -2- AFFIRMED.
