                      Per Curiam.   We have reviewed the record  and find
                      __________

            no  basis to  disturb  the  Board's  decision  upholding  the

            immigration  judge's  decision to  deny  discretionary relief

            from deportation.   Nor was  there any unfairness  in denying

            appellant   an  indefinite   continuance   and  holding   the

            deportation hearing  at a  correctional facility.   Singh  v.
