                     For the First Circuit

No. 98-2162

                          UNITED STATES,

           APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

                 FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND

          [Hon. Ronald R. Lagueux, U.S. District Judge]

                              Before

                     Torruella, Chief Judge,
                Stahl and Lipez, Circuit Judges.
                                
                                
                                
                                
                                
     Brendan G. King and George F. Gormley, P.C. on brief for
appellant.
     Margaret E. Curran, United States Attorney, Donald C. Lockhart
and Zechariah Chafee, Assistant United States Attorneys, on brief
for appellee.

November 4, 1999

                                
  
            Per Curiam.  Upon careful review of the briefs and
  record, we conclude that we do not have jurisdiction to review
  the district court's discretionary refusal to depart from the
  sentencing guideline range.  See United States v. Reeder, 170
  F.3d 93, 109 (1st Cir. 1999), cert. denied, 68 U.S.L.W. 3079
  (U.S. Oct. 4, 1999).  Further, the district court's decision is
  not inconsistent with, or undermined by, the ruling in United
  States v. Perez, 160 F.3d 87 (1st Cir. 1998), because the
  district court determined that, on the facts of this case, it
  would not grant a departure even were it authorized to do so.
            Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
