Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 3:88CR00068LN
_________________________________________________________________
August 8, 1996
Before GARWOOD, JOLLY, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Dennis R. Paden, # 47044-079, challenges his conviction and
sentence on the basis that the district court lacked subject matter
jurisdiction. The statute setting forth the offense to which he
pleaded guilty, 18 U.S.C. § 844(I), is not unconstitutional. See
Russell v. United States, 471 U.S. 858 (1985); United States v.
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
Shively, 927 F.2d 804, 807-09 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 510 U.S.
1209 (1991). The defendant’s contention that the government
manufactured or withheld evidence is frivolous.
APPEAL DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
