           Appeal from the United States District Court

                           June 27, 1996
Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM:*

     Appellant Kevin Roach contends that he is entitled to

reversal of his conviction of using or carrying a firearm in

relation to a drug trafficking offense, 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1), on

grounds that the Government failed to establish a factual basis

for his guilty plea.   This lacks merit because the district

court's finding of a factual basis relative to his carrying the

firearm is not erroneous.   See United States v. Fike, ___ F.3d

___ (5th Cir. May 7, 1996, No. 93-1797), slip op. 3527.


     *
        Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
                     No.
                     -2-

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
