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

                                 ___________________

                      Per  Curiam.    We  have reviewed  the  record  and
                      ___________

            conclude that the district  court's findings were not clearly

            erroneous.   Counsel  adequately  informed appellant  of  the

            government's proposed plea offer and of the likely sentencing

            benefit of  cooperating with the government.  The judgment is

            summarily affirmed pursuant to First Circuit Rule 27.1.
