                                 ____________________

                 Per Curiam.   In view  of our recent  opinion clarifying
                 __________

            that  a  sentencing  court  "may  invoke    4A1.3  to  depart

            downward from  the career  offender category if  it concludes

            that  the  category  inaccurately  reflects  the  defendant's

            actual criminal  history,"  United States v.  Lindia, No. 95-
                                        ________________________

            2200, slip op. at 21 (1st Cir. April 18, 1996), together with

            our   uncertainty  whether   the   district   court  made   a

            discretionary decision not to  depart or, instead, viewed its

            authority as  more restricted  than Lindia allows,  we vacate
                                                ______

            the sentence and remand for further consideration. 

                 Vacated and remanded.  Loc. R. 27.1.
