Before FAGG, BEAM, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

       Mark Allen Johnson appeals the sentence of imprisonment imposed by the
district court on revocation of Johnson's supervised release. We conclude that an
extended discussion on our part is not warranted because Johnson's arguments are
foreclosed by this court's recent opinion in United States v. Thornell, No. 97-1534,
1997 WL693050, at *2 (8th Cir. Nov. 6, 1997). We thus affirm Johnson's sentence.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
