Before BOWMAN, MAGILL, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.


      Joseph Moses appeals from the 48-month sentence imposed by the
district court1 following his guilty plea to distributing methamphetamine,
in   violation   of   21   U.S.C.    §    841(a)(1).     The   sentence   reflected   a
substantial-assistance downward departure from the Guidelines range.                  We
have carefully reviewed the record and conclude Moses knowingly and
voluntarily waived his right to appeal under these circumstances.                 See
United States v. Rutan, 956 F.2d 827, 829 (8th Cir. 1992); United States
v. Albers, 961 F.2d 710, 712 (8th Cir. 1992).


      Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.            Moses's motion to supplement
the record with the transcript of a co-defendant is denied.
