January 19, 2000

          Per Curiam.   We find no clear error in the district
court's refusal to award appellant an offense level reduction
for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G.  3E1.1, and we
affirm.  United States v. Mata-Grullon, 887 F.2d 23, 24 (1st
Cir. 1989) (no clear error in district court's denial of
reduction under U.S.S.G.  3E1.1 to defendant who had pled
guilty to drug offense and who had lied about his name, birth
date, and citizenship) (citing U.S.S.G.  3E1.1, Application
Note 4).
          Affirmed.  1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
