                       [Hon. Gene Carter, U.S. District Judge]
                                          ___________________

                                 ____________________

                                        Before

                                 ____________________

                                   December 5, 1996
                                 ____________________

                 Per  Curiam.   After  careful  review  of the  appellate
                 ___________

            briefs and  record, we conclude that  no substantial question

            is  presented as to the  district court's refusal  to grant a

            downward departure.

                 The refusal to  depart is not appealable  here, as there

            is no suggestion that it resulted from any misapprehension of

            the applicable  guidelines or the district  court's authority

            to  depart.  See United  States v. Grandmaison,  77 F.3d 555,
                         ___ ______________    ___________

            560 (1st  Cir. 1996).  Consequently, the appeal is dismissed.
                                                               _________

            Loc. R. 27.1.
