                       October 24, 2001
______________
*Of the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.
            Per Curiam.    This appeal was argued on September 14,

2001, in conjunction with several other appeals raising the same

principal question:       does an undifferentiated conviction under

Maine's general-purpose assault statute, Me. Rev. Stat. Ann.

tit. 17-A, § 207, constitute a conviction for a misdemeanor

crime of domestic violence within the purview of 18 U.S.C. §

922(g)(9)?    We answered that question affirmatively in United

States v. Nason, ___ F.3d ___ (1st Cir. 2001) [No. 01-1440].

Nason is fully dispositive here.        Accordingly, the defendant's

conviction is affirmed.



Affirmed.
