See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     William Wright, Jr., appeals the 51-month sentence imposed by

the district court after his previous sentence was reversed and

remanded for resentencing. Wright contends that the district court

erred in failing to depart on the ground of sentence manipulation.

Because a decision not to depart from the guideline range is not
reviewable on appeal, United States v. Bayerle, 898 F.2d 28, 31
(4th Cir.), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 819 (1990), we dismiss the
appeal.

     We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                        DISMISSED
