           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                  District Court No. 3:02-MC-47-G
_________________________________________________________________

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, STEWART and PRADO, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM.1

     The court has considered appellant’s position in light of

oral argument, the briefs, and the record.     Having done so, we

find no reversible error.   The evidence is sufficient to sustain

appellant’s conviction, and the district court did not abuse its

discretion in excluding appellant’s “reverse 404(b)” evidence or

in allowing the government to introduce appellant’s statements to

the police.

AFFIRMED.


     1
     Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, this 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
