           APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

                FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

         [Hon. Douglas P. Woodlock, U.S. District Judge]



                              Before

                      Stahl, Circuit Judge,
                Campbell, Senior Circuit Judge,

May 21, 1999



                                
                                

            Per Curiam.  After carefully reviewing the briefs and
  record on appeal, we affirm the judgment below.  The district
  court's determination that the appellant was accountable for
  sufficient quantities of cocaine to support the sentence was
  not clearly erroneous.  United States v. Jimenez Martinez, 83
  F.3d 488, 492 (1st Cir. 1996).  The court engaged in an
  individualized inquiry into the appellant's involvement with
  the cocaine at issue.  United States v. Innamorati, 996 F.2d
  456, 488-489 (1st Cir. 1993).  Appellant's remaining argument
  was not raised below and will not be considered for the first
  time on appeal.  United States v. Dietz, 950 F.2d 50, 55 (1st
  Cir. 1991). 
            Affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
