         APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

               FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO

       [Hon. Daniel R. Domnguez, U.S. District Judge]

                            Before

                  Selya, Boudin and Lynch,
                      Circuit Judges.

   Alexander Zeno 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.

September 15, 1999

          Per Curiam.    Upon careful review of the briefs and
record, we conclude that the district court did not clearly err
in basing defendant's sentence on the negotiated drug quantity. 
See U.S.S.G.  2D1.1, n.12; United States v. Muniz, 49 F.3d 36,
39 (1st Cir. 1995).  In the circumstances of this case, we
cannot say that the district court was required to disregard 
defendant's earlier assertions of capacity and intent to
deliver the full quantity.
          We further conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in quashing the belated subpoenas.  In
light of defendant's guilty plea and the limited issues
remaining for the sentencing hearing, defendant's argument
regarding an entrapment defense is entirely meritless.
          Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
