                      Per  Curiam.    Pro  se plaintiff  Arthur Toegemann
                      ___________     ___  __

            appeals a district  court order that requires him  to forward

            monthly payments  to defense  counsel until Toegemann  pays a

            total of $1700.00 to the state of Rhode Island.  The $1700.00

            represents the  total amount  of sanctions that  the district

            court  imposed on  Toegemann  for filing  and litigating  the

            instant action - the second of its kind - against the present

            defendants.  We have thoroughly  reviewed the record and  the

            parties' briefs on appeal.  Toegemann has continuously failed

            to pay a sanction  which we affirmed in 1991.   See Toegemann
                                                            ___ _________

            v. University of Rhode Island, et al., No. 90-1878, (1st Cir.
               __________________________________

            April 3, 1991)(upholding $1000  sanction).  He further offers

            no reasons why  the district court  abused its discretion  in

            imposing an additional $700 in sanctions since we issued that

            decision.   The record indicates that  this additional sum is

            wholly  justified  by  Toegemann's persistent  recalcitrance.

            Accordingly,  the district  court's order  is affirmed.   See
