PER CURIAM:*

     Bennett appeals from the district court’s affirmance of the

information on the grounds of double jeopardy.   United States v,

and the briefs on appeal and AFFIRM the district court’s order

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                          No. 96-50596

for the reasons set forth by the district court.   United States

of America v. Bennett, No. SA-96-CR-197-1 (W.D. Tex. July 24,

1996).

     AFFIRMED.
