                 Per Curiam.   We have carefully  reviewed the record  in
                 __________



            this case, including the briefs of the parties.  We find that



            the evidence presented was  clearly sufficient for a rational



            jury to have found Cole guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, of



            each count in the indictment.  



                 Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
