                     APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

                           FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND

                [Hon. Raymond J. Pettine, Senior U.S. District Judge]
                                          __________________________

                                 ____________________

                                        Before

                                Torruella, Chief Judge,
                                           ___________
                            Bownes, Senior Circuit Judge,
                                    ____________________

            __________________                                _______________
        Assistant United States Attorney, on brief for appellee.

                                 ____________________

                                 ____________________

             

                      Per Curiam.  We  have carefully reviewed the briefs
                      __________

            and record.  The  district court's remarks, read as  a whole,

            indicate that  regardless whether defendant's  state criminal

            offenses were  concentrated or spread out, the  court was not

            inclined  to  exercise  its  discretion  to  depart  downward

            because  the  fact remained  that  defendant  had engaged  in

            serious  misconduct.   Consequently,  we  reject  defendant's

            argument  that he was  sentenced on  the basis  of materially

            inaccurate information.

                      The judgment is summarily affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
