Per Curiam. Upon careful consideration of the briefs __________
and record, we conclude that defendant's sentence properly
was enhanced under U.S.S.G. 3A1.1(b). The district court's
findings adequately pointed to the victim's particular
vulnerability, including her advanced age and inability to
keep track of her finances, and to defendant's knowledge
thereof during the extended period of the offense. Those
findings were not clearly erroneous and sufficiently
supported the 3A1.1(b) enhancement. See United States v. ___ _____________
Feldman, 83 F.3d 9, 15-17 (1st Cir. 1996). _______
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1. ________ ___
