                           April 15, 1997
Before REAVLEY, DAVIS, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Maria Muniz-Reyes (Muniz) was convicted for conspiracy to

possess with intent to distribute marijuana and with possession

with intent to distribute marijuana.   Muniz contends that the

district court erred in admitting evidence of her prior drug

dealing activity under Fed. R. Evid. 404(b) at her trial.

     This court applies a two-pronged test to determine the

admissibility of evidence under Rule 404(b).   First, the evidence


     *
        Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.

                               - 2 -

must be relevant to an issue other than the defendant's

character.   Second, the evidence must have probative value that

is not substantially outweighed by undue prejudice and must

otherwise be admissible under Rule 403.    United States v.

Beechum, 

, 911 (1978)(en banc).   The district court’s

admission of extrinsic-acts evidence may be reversed only upon a

clear showing of an abuse of discretion.    United States v.

Broussard, 

, 1039 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 117 S.

Ct. 264 (1996).

     Muniz’s plea of not guilty to the conspiracy charge was

sufficient to place the issue of her intent at issue.     United

States v. Prati, 

, 86 (5th Cir. 1988).    Muniz does not

assert that the testimony in question was not probative of her

intent, rather she simply asserts undue prejudice.   Any prejudice

that Muniz suffered was minimized by the district court’s

repeated limiting instructions.    United States v. Devine, 

, 1346 (5th Cir. 1991).   The district court did not

abuse its discretion in admitting into evidence the testimony

regarding Muniz’s prior drug trafficking activity.

     AFFIRMED.
