information on the grounds of double jeopardy.   United States v,

and the briefs on appeal and AFFIRM the district court’s order

     *
        Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
                          No. 96-50596
                              - 2 -
