                           April 18, 1996
Before DUHÉ, DEMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Victor Castro appeals his 87-month sentence imposed as a

result of his conviction for being a felon in possession of a

firearm.   Castro argues that the sentencing judge exhibited bias

against him and that this deprived him of the due process of law.

We have examined the record and Castro’s contentions and find no

reversible error.

     AFFIRMED.




     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
