                      Per Curiam.  We  have carefully reviewed the briefs
                      __________



            and record.  The  district court's remarks, read as  a whole,



            indicate that  regardless whether defendant's  state criminal



            offenses were  concentrated or spread out, the  court was not



            inclined  to  exercise  its  discretion  to  depart  downward



            because  the  fact remained  that  defendant  had engaged  in



            serious  misconduct.   Consequently,  we  reject  defendant's



            argument  that he was  sentenced on  the basis  of materially



            inaccurate information.



                      The judgment is summarily affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
