AFFIRMED.
Before DONALD RUSSELL and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Harry F. Thompson appeals his conviction of four counts of mail fraud, 18 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1341 (West 1984), one count of destroying by fire property affecting interstate commerce, 18 U.S.C.A. Sec. 844(i) (West Supp.1990), and one count of making a false statement to a federal bankruptcy court, 18 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1001 (West 1976).  Thompson challenges an evidentiary ruling of the district court allowing testimony by two government witnesses to show bias on the part of a defense witness.  Our review of the record and the briefs discloses that the district court did not abuse its discretion by admitting this testimony.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.  Fed.R.App.P. 34(a)(3);  Loc.R. 34(a).

2
AFFIRMED.
