          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Western District of Texas
                        (EP-96-CR-49-ALL)

                          August 31, 1998

Before REAVLEY, DAVIS and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The district court’s sentence of 70 months is affirmed.    The

      Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that

sentence, hearing additional evidence if necessary.   See United

States v. Marmolejo, 139 F.3d 528 (5th Cir. 1998) and United

States v. Kinder, 980 F.2d 961 (5th cir. 1992).

     The district court’s order incorrectly assessed $100 instead

of $50 for the special assessment, a clerical error or

inadvertent oversight.   The cause is remanded for modification

and correction.

     JUDGMENT AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.   CAUSE REMANDED FOR

CORRECTION.
