Ronald R. Lagueux, U.S. District Judge]                                             ___________________                                 ____________________                                        Before                                Torruella, Chief Judge,                                           ___________                            Cyr and Stahl, Circuit Judges.                                           ______________                                 ____________________            Arthur J. Toegemann on brief pro se.            ___________________            Jeffrey B. Pine, Attorney General, and Thomas  A. Palombo, Special            _______________                        __________________        Assistant Attorney General, on brief for appellees.                                _____________________                                _____________________                      Per  Curiam.    Pro  se plaintiff  Arthur Toegemann                      ___________     ___  __            appeals a district  court order that requires him  to forward            monthly payments  to defense  counsel until Toegemann  pays a            total of $1700.00 to the state of Rhode Island.  The $1700.00            represents the  total amount  of sanctions that  the district            court  imposed on  Toegemann  for filing  and litigating  the            instant action - the second of its kind - against the present            defendants.  We have thoroughly  reviewed the record and  the            parties' briefs on appeal.  Toegemann has continuously failed            to pay a sanction  which we affirmed in 1991.   See Toegemann                                                            ___ _________            v. University of Rhode Island, et al., No. 90-1878, (1st Cir.               __________________________________            April 3, 1991)(upholding $1000  sanction).  He further offers            no reasons why  the district court  abused its discretion  in            imposing an additional $700 in sanctions since we issued that            decision.   The record indicates that  this additional sum is            wholly  justified  by  Toegemann's persistent  recalcitrance.            Accordingly,  the district  court's order  is affirmed.   See                                                          _________   ___            Local Rule 27.1.
