Per Curiam. We perceive no error in the district
court's adherence to our decision in United States v. Clase-
Espinal, 115 F.3d 1054, 1059-60 (1st Cir.), cert. denied,
118
S. Ct. 384 (1997), and defendant offers no substantial reason
to revisit or distinguish that decision. In all events, we,
as a panel, are bound by the panel decision in Clase-Espinal.
See, e.g., United States v. Wogan, 938 F.2d 1446 (1st Cir.
1991).
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
