UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.James Diamond WAINWRIGHT, a/k/a Curtis D. Wilson, a/k/aDerrick Davis, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 91-3394.
United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.
April 24, 1992.

Before JOHN P. MOORE, TACHA and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
JOHN P. MOORE, Circuit Judge.

1
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this panel.   See Fed.R.App.P. 34(e);  10th Cir.R. 34.1.9.   The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

2
This is an appeal from the denial of a motion to correct sentence.   Defendant maintains he should have been sentenced under the guidelines because the crime to which he pled guilty was a "straddle" offense which commenced before the effective date of the guidelines and ended thereafter.   His basic premise is erroneous.

3
Although defendant was charged in a multi-count indictment with a series of bank frauds which extended beyond the effective date of the guidelines, the count to which he pled was a discrete crime which was completed prior to November 1, 1987.   That fact is not altered because he thereafter participated in another fraudulent transaction.   Accordingly, the district court correctly applied a non-guideline sentence.   The mandate shall issue forthwith.

4
AFFIRMED.
