Wong challenges the district court’s grouping of these offenses based on its finding that the firearm possession was in connection with the drug offense. As a result of this finding, the district court imposed a two-level enhancement for possession of a deadly weapon under U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(b)(l) (requiring two-level increase if firearm was possessed) and denied a two-level decrease under U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(b)(6), because Wong failed to meet the requirements of U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. § 3742 and 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We affirm.
