Per Curiam. Appellant Abelardo Cuevas appeals his
__________
conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to
distribute, conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to
distribute, and aiding and abetting same. He also appeals
his sentence of 235 months imprisonment. We have reviewed
carefully the record in this case, including the transcript
of appellant's trial, the transcript of his disposition
hearing, and appellant's briefs. We find no merit in any of
appellant's claims that the district court erred either
during trial or at appellant's sentencing. Appellant's
objection to the ethnic composition of the jury is foreclosed
by this court's decision in United States v. Pion, 25 F.3d 18
_____________ ____
(1st Cir. 1994). Appellant's claim that he was denied
effective assistance of counsel should be raised in a
collateral proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2255. See,
___
e.g., United States v. Jadusingh, 12 F.3d 1162, 1169-70,
___ _____________ _________
(1st Cir. 1994).
Affirmed.
