Before JONES, Chief Judge, and SMITH and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Richard Allen

Wilson, Jr., raises arguments that are foreclosed by United

evidence.   The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is

GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
