           APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

          [Hon. Jose Antonio Fuste, U.S. District Judge]

                              Before

                      Lynch, Circuit Judge,
                 Bownes, Senior Circuit Judge,
                   and Lipez, Circuit Judge.

     Guillermo Gil, United States Attorney, Jorge E. Vega-Pacheco,

Assistant United States Attorney, on brief for appellee.

MAY 26, 1999

                                
                                
            Per Curiam.  After carefully considering the briefs
  and record on appeal, we affirm the order below.  Subpoenas may
  not be used as vehicles for discovery.  United States v. Nixon,
  418 U.S. 683, 698 (1974); Bowman Dairy Company v. United
  States, 341 U.S. 214, 218 (1951).  Like other orders, they may
  not be issued except in the context of some proceeding or
  investigation which brings the matter legitimately before the
  court.  In the Matter of Providence Journal Company, 820 F.2d
  1342, 1347 (1st Cir. 1986).
            Affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
