                           UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                                FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
                                ____________________
       No. 96-1825
                                   UNITED STATES,
                                      Appellee,
                                         v.
                              OANH VAN HA, A/K/A QUANH,
                                Defendant, Appellant.
                                ____________________
                    APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                          FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
                   [Hon. Douglas P. Woodlock, U.S. District Judge]
                                ____________________
                                       Before
                               Torruella, Chief Judge,
                          Stahl and Lynch, Circuit Judges.
                                ____________________
            Alan D. Rose and Rose & Associates on brief for appellant.
            Donald K.  Stern, United States  Attorney, and Kevin  P. McGrath,
       Assistant United States Attorney, on brief for appellee.
                                ____________________
                                   April 11, 1997
                                ____________________

                 Per 
                    Curiam. 
                            
                            Upon 
                                 careful review of the briefs and record,
            we perceive no clear error in the district court's sentencing
            determinations.  The  district court properly concluded  that
            appellant  was  not  entitled  to  a  reduction  as  a  minor
            participant  under  U.S.S.G. S  3B1.2(b),  in  light  of  his
            responsibilities  for  storing,  guarding,  and  distributing
            substantial quantities of the drugs.  Further, appellant  was
            not entitled  to an extra reduction  for a timely plea  under
            U.S.S.G. S 3E1.1(b)(2), in  light of his belated plea on  the
            third day of trial.  
                 Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
