Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                           _____________

PER CURIAM.

      In appealing his guidelines sentence, LaFoshen McAdoo's attack on the
constitutionality of the crack cocaine sentencing ratio borders on the frivolous. We
have consistently rejected this argument. See United States v. Johnson, 

,
922 (8th Cir. 1997). We affirm McAdoo's sentence.
