          Appeal from the United States District Court
              for the Eastern District of Louisiana
                         (96-CR-168-T-2)
     ______________________________________________________

                          April 13, 1998

Before GARWOOD, DAVIS and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:*

     In this direct criminal appeal, Lewis raises three issues:

     1. Whether the district court erred in denying Lewis’s
     motion to suppress evidence;

     2. Whether the district court abused its discretion in
     qualifying Henry Richardson as an expert in identifying
     drug ledgers;

     3.   Whether there was sufficient evidence to support
     Lewis’s conviction for conspiracy.




     *
      Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
     After hearing oral argument and reviewing the briefs of the

parties and pertinent portions of the record, we are satisfied that

the district court committed no reversible error.

     AFFIRMED.
