Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Cyprian    Mammah   appeals   his   convictions   for   making   false

statements and bank fraud.     18 U.S.C. §§ 1014, 1344.       He contends

that the district court abused its discretion in admitting evidence

under FED. R. EVID. 404(b).        We find no reversible error.         See

United States v. Beechum, 582 F.2d 898, 914 (5th Cir. 1978) (en

banc), cert. denied, 440 U.S. 920 (1979).

     AFFIRMED




     *
        Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
