           Appeal from the United States District Court

                        USDC No. 95-CR-30018

Before KING, GARWOOD, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

      Alfred D. Lewis appeals his sentence, arguing that the

district court abused its discretion by denying his motion for a

downward departure pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 5K2.0 and that the

court erred by denying his motion for a concurrent sentence

and/or for downward departure pursuant to §§ 5G1.3(b) and (c).

Because the sentencing court's refusal to depart downward

pursuant to § 5K2.0 was not the result of a violation of the law

or a misapplication of the guidelines, this court lacks

this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
jurisdiction to review the court's refusal to depart.     See United

States v. DiMarco, 46 F.3d 476, 477 (5th Cir. 1995).     Section

5G1.3 is not applicable to Lewis's case because Lewis was not

subject to an undischarged term of imprisonment at the time of

sentencing.   See § 5G1.3.    Accordingly, the judgment of the

district court is AFFIRMED.

     AFFIRMED.
