           APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

                 FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO

         [Hon. Salvador E. Casellas, U.S. District Judge]

                              Before
                                 
                     Selya, Boudin and Lynch,
                         Circuit Judges.
                                
                                
                                
                                
     Luis Rafael Rivera on brief for appellant.
     Guillermo Gil, United States Attorney, Jorge E. Vega-Pacheco,
Assistant United States Attorney, and Nelson Perez-Sosa, Assistant
United States Attorney, on brief for appellee.

June 14, 1999

                                
                                

            Per Curiam.  Upon careful review of the briefs and
  record, we conclude that the district court did not clearly err
  in sentencing defendant based on the drug quantity to which he
  specifically pled guilty.  Given defendant's plain admissions
  at the plea hearing and the lack of a developed challenge to
  the validity of the plea, defendant will not now be heard to
  argue about the drug quantity.  See United States v. Martinez-
  Martinez, 69 F.3d 1215, 1224 (1st Cir. 1995).  The district
  court was not required, on the record before it, to adopt
  defendant's revised, post-plea version of his involvement with
  the drug shipment.
            Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
